AGILE TEMPERATURE SAMPLE MOUNT
The Agile Temperature Sample Mount provides the solution for the highest level of positional stability for step-static and dynamic temperature changes from 4K to 350K while improving the speed to each set point. The unique position stabilizing support structure optimizes stage mechanical stiffness and rigidity while providing the thermal performance required for fast temperature changes. The structure reduces thermal contraction to below 30µm over the entire temperature range from less than 4K to 350K. This technology eliminates the need to re-focus after small temperature changes. Ultimately, you can be confident that an optimized focus will remain stable throughout a measurement.
An integrated Cernox thermometer and heater provide reliable and responsive thermal control. The system is controlled from a high-speed temperature controller for rapid thermal response and time to stability. The module also operates independently so it can be used with other cryostats.
The sample mount allows you to get the most out of high numerical aperture and low working distance optical setups, such as when used with the Montana Instrument’s Cryo-Optic platforms.
Please refer to the datasheet for specifications.
ATSM-D12: Electrical Sample Mount
A specially designed circuit board with 12 DC connections can be integrated with the ATSM for variable temperature electrical measurements. The wire bonding pads are connected to an exterior base side panel via a robust and flexible circuit.
ATSM: Exchange Boss
A removable sample mount (not pictured) clamps to the small extruded boss on the ATSM, allowing the full ATSM assembly to remain in place during sample exchange. This option facilitates quicker sample exchanges, and can also be used in conjunction with special electrical sample mounts to allow for quick connection of wire bonded samples.
