Variable temperature cryostat
The Janis ST-500 series probe stations are high-performance research instruments designed to provide affordable vacuum and cryogenic probing of wafers and devices. The proven ST-500 cryostat is the platform for these probe stations and includes low vibration technology (originally designed for high spatial resolution optical
microscopy) to provide outstanding sample positional stability. Researchers around the world are using these systems to conduct research in a wide variety of fields, including MEMS, nanoscale electronics, superconductivity, ferroelectrics, material
sciences, and optics.

- Up to four interchangeable probe arms
- Open-cycle probe station option based on low vibration, microscopy ST-500 cryostat
- Closed-cycle (cryogen-free) probe station option
- Gaussmeter and Hall probe to measure magnetic field
- Optional, unipolar, high stability, air-cooled power magnet power supply
- Optional bipolar, high stability, water-cooled power magnet power supply
- Optional manually controlled, precision rotary stage with a minimum step size of 1°
Note: Would increase the base temperature by a few degrees - Optional attocube nano-positioner rotary stage with a minimum step of 1 millidegree
Note: Would increase the base temperature by a few degrees - Optional software to perform electrical measurements using cryogen-free horizontal field electromagnet probe system
- Optional special miniature vacuum chamber to transfer sample under vacuum from glove box to probe station
UHV probe stations
Janis offers a complete range of probe stations suitable for making electrical measurements in a UHV environment. Several standard designs are available, and systems can be custom configured to meet a wide variety of user requirements.
ST-SCON
Superconducting magnets in the ST-SCON model offer a variable vertical magnetic field up to 3 T with typical field homogeneity of 5% over a 10 mm diameter.
ST-500-PM
The ST-500-PM models incorporating permanent magnets are available for magnetic field dependent measurements. These systems are ideal for the study of magneto-optical and magneto-electrical properties in a variety of experiments, including quantum dots,
spintronic devices, and nanoscale electronics. These are available in horizontal or vertical configurations.
Horizontal magnetic field parallel to the sample mount plane — two inexpensive cylindrical permanent magnets to create a variable horizontal magnetic field up to 1000 G.
Vertical magnetic field perpendicular to the sample mount plane — an inexpensive set of six permanent ring magnets create a vertical magnetic field that can be step varied between 2000 G and 300 G.
