Standard Equipment

Open cycle multi-stage refrigerator	10 K to 400 K
Cold head stage temperature sensor	Lake Shore Model DT-670-SD-1.4H calibrated silicon diode
Cold head stage heater	50 W (2 parallel heaters, 25 W each)

Cooled radiation shield and cooled IR-absorbing window above the sample
Two radiation shield temperature sensors	Lake Shore Model DT-670C-CU silicon diode
Two radiation shield heaters	100 W and 50 W
Removable top lid with viewport	Ø51 mm (2 in) window

Temprature controllers	Two Lake Shore Model 332Ss and oneModel 142 200 W (2-channels, 100 W each) power supply (independent regulation of cold head stage, radiation shield, and probe arm temperature monitoring)

Vacuum chamber Diameter	25.4 cm (10 in)
Removable top lid with clear fused quartz viewport	Ø54 mm (2.1 in) window
Probe ports	6 surround the sample thermal radiation shield

Machined aluminum base plate	66.0 × 53.3 cm(26 × 21 in)

Vibration isolation table	Low vibration, non-magnetic stand, PVC construction with sand weighted legs and brass fittings

Six XYZ precision micro-manipulated probing stages

Probe arms, thermal radiation shields, stainless steel welded bellows, and feedthrough ports

Thermally linked probe mounts	Probe mounts and radiation shield are thermally anchored to the cold head; one probe mount includes a platinum temperature sensor installed and wired to a 6-pin feedthrough

Grounded sample holder	SH-0.50-G, accomodates up to a Ø12.7 mm (0.5 in) sample with a Ø12.7 mm (0.5 in) probe area

Optics Zoom 70 monoscope	7:1 zoom with 5 µm resolution
Color CCD camera
Swing arm	Optics can be manipulated to view any part of the sample or wafer, and can be retracted and swung away to allow access to the top of the vacuum chamber for sample exchange
Video monitor	High resolution, 17-inch
Sample illumination	Coaxial via fiber optic or ring light from an adjustable light source and power supply (must specify sample illumination at time of order) NOTE: Coaxial illumination is recommended for highly reflective materials

High efficiency helium transfer line with foot valve for precise flow regulation
