TS102GXY / TS102VXY
- Versatile stage with streamlined design for long duration experiments without liquid nitrogen
- -40°C – 120°C with thermoelectric heating and cooling
- XY sample positioning
- Sealed chamber with gas purging or vacuum capability
Description
Instec’s TS102GXY/TS102VXY is a thermoelectric (Peltier) based stage offers gas-tight/vacuum-tight capabilities that can provide cooling to -40°C without using liquid nitrogen or a recirculating chiller. This simplifies the system setup, reduces operating costs, and makes it a convenient choice for performing long duration experiments at low temperatures.
The TS102GXY is a lower cost option for controlling the atmosphere when vacuum is not required.
The TS102VXY with vacuum chamber capability is ideal for freeze drying samples under microscope.
