Montana Instruments Cryostation Optical Cryostat S200
Closed Cycle Optical Cryostats
Montana Instruments are on a mission – to make cold science simple. Their philosophy is centred on three main principles:
1) Ease of use
2) Ease of access
3) Turn-key operation
All their optical cryostats are cryogen-free and combine low vibration, high temperature stability, low sample drift and superb optical access – making them suited for the most demanding cryogenic experiments.
As the sample space is modular, the user has many options regarding configuration of their experimental setup.
FEATURES
- Cryogen-free
- Low vibration
- High temperature stability
- Low sample drift
- Sample in vacuum
- Table-top mounting architecture
- Fully automated cool-down and warm-up procedures
