MICSOL Products for All Your Needs
Linear Transfer Unit
Not all shuttles are created equal.
The MICSOL Transfer Shuttle (Cryo + HV) is an HV (e-6 mbar) Cryo (-170°C) compatible transfer unit with an integrated temperature sensor and optionally a counter heater and retract position switch.
The weight is just under 3.5Kg, and the interface is a standardised CF40 with a quick coupling option.
The length of the manipulator is freely configurable up to a stroke of 700mm.
- Lightweight – under 3.5kgs
- Operates in High Vacuum (e-6 mbar)
- Cryogenic (to -170°C)
- Freely configurable docking interface (adaptable to any microscopy equipment) with a quick acting coupling
- Freely configurable for any sample holder e.g. Cameca APT, BalTec/Leica Microsystems, MicSol and other (up to 38mm diameter)
- Freely configurable length of the magnetic manipulator including retract position switch
- Minimal liquid nitrogen volume and/or vacuum loss
Glovebox GLB.01
- Ergonomic to handle and manipulate microscopy samples under direct sight in pure Argon or Nitrogen environment (switchable).
- Ergonomics to handle samples in liquid nitrogen with virtually no ice contamination.
- Liquid nitrogen supply flows directly into the GloveBox.
- Connectivity between different brands of SEM/FIB transfer devices using inert gas / Cryo and ANY TEM holder. Units like Thermo’s Quick-Connect, Leice-Microsystems, Ferrovac and Microscopy-Solution are easily accommodated.
- The GLB.01 can be supplied as a “Flush” box central if a clean Nitrogen supply is available or upgraded to add a gas purification system (Moisture and Oxygen < 1ppm.)
React Hub
The ReactHub is a thermochemical microfurnace employing fully programmable pyrometer-controlled laser heating and a cryogenically-cooled stage to produce and capture transient reaction states of environmentally-sensitive materials.
State-of-the-art gas mixing, vacuum pumping and residual gas analysis provide theReactHub's user with exceptional experimental control and, paired with vacuum carry transfer protocols, this platform allows for pristine observations upon a variety of microscopes (SEM, FIB, TEM, APT)
MICSOL Sample Holders
There are 18 different MICSOL sample holders in the range.
The advanced models are fitted with Cryo-Lid to allow safe and contamination free transfer, and all units are compatible with
BAL-TEC based cryo stages.
Some of the model configurations are:
- Horizontal (surface station)
- Pre tilted (SEM/FIB)
- High Pressure Machine applications
- Plunge freeze TEM-Grid and AutoGrid sample carriers.
Customised Dewars
A dewar that won't ice up.
The MICSOL Transfer Shuttle (Cryo + HV) is an HV (e-6 mbar) Cryo (-170°C) compatible transfer unit with an integrated temperature sensor and optionally a counter heater.
The weight is just under 4Kg, and the interface is a standardised CF40 with a quick coupling option.
The length of the manipulator is freely configurable up to a stroke of 700mm.
Unlike other similar products, there is little ice formation, and it is mechanically very stable due to the internal damping mechanism.
Katana Ultramicotome
The Katana Ultramicrotome:
- Transforms a normal SEM to a volume SEM,
- 55 mm height fitting inside the SEM vacuum chamber,
- Compatible with most SEMs.
K-kit TEM Specimen Holder
Innovative holder for liquid analysis in TEM
- Allowing liquid samples and nano objects imaged,
- Patented liquid drying protocol,
- Free of cross contamination,
- Easy to use.
