Hot and Cold Stage Application Guide
Below we have provided a basic selection guide to help you in selecting a hot and cold stage to fit your needs. Please remember that this guide does not list every option available for each category. For example, nearly all of Instec's hot and cold stages can be used for liquid crystals and polymers. We have simply listed the most popular stages for the category.
Your final selection of the Instec hot and cold stages will depend on your specific applications. To better select a stage for your applications, please email us your requirements, such as research areas, sample size, temperature range, type of microscope or other equipment to be used with this hot and cold stage, and environment control, such as vacuum or gas purge.
