HCS302
Microscope Hot and Cold Stage
The HCS302 microscope hot and cold stage is a single thin film heater
stage. The HCS302 temperature controlled environment is an ideal choice
for optical thermal microscopy or for other general applications requiring
optical access to the sample. All of the windows on the HCS302 stage are
removable and exchangeable allowing the HCS302 to be used for small angle
X-ray diffraction, FTIR, and other experiments requiring beam access to
the sample. The HCS302 can also be mounted vertically for applications
requiring horizontal beam access to the sample chamber. The interior of
the HCS302 is large enough to accommodate a variety of samples, including
complete electro-optic devices and cell culture preparations. Standard
1" x 3" (or 25mm x 75mm) microscope slides can be used as sample plates
directly. An optional, fixed position thermal shielding shell is also
provided to optimize thermal performance for work requiring ultra-high
temperature stability and uniformity.
