Scryo-S-500 Microscope Cryostat
The Scryo®S-500 (abbreviated as S-500) is a new high-efficiency continuous-flow open-loop microscope cryostat with rugged adiabatic support structure and temperature drift compensation design, vibration level in the nanometer scale, is the ideal cryogenic platform for single-quantum-dot, single-molecule, and low-dimensional material testing. The short working distance combined with coaxial inlet and outlet piping allows for use with most commercial microscopes and Raman spectrometers. High-efficiency vaporizer combined with super-adiabatic transfer piping greatly improves the efficiency of liquid helium usage. The cryostat features fast cooling speed, a wide temperature range (<1.8K-420K), a low liquid helium consumption rate and good temperature stability.
The S-500 microscope cryostat comes standard with a fused silica window, optional window materials for transmitting different wavelengths, and a wide range of vacuum electric feedthroughs and electrical leads, with options such as a large sample space model (for integrating nanopositioning stages, objective lenses, and Diamond Anvil Cell, etc.), a structure with vertical extensions (to match superconducting magnets or electromagnets), a stainless steel vacuum shroud, and indium sealing flanges.
