4.1 The cryostat The MicrostatN is a continuous flow cryostat designed principally for to allow a sample to be cooled to a low temperature and studied with an optical microscope. The sample temperature is continuously variable between 77K and 500K. The special window arrangement allows the sample to be brought close to the objective lens of the microscope.
This manual describes the operation of the system in conjunction with an Oxford Instruments Mercury iTC temperature controller. The cryostat can be operated manually if a temperature controller is not available, although it may be difficult to obtain good temperature control.
4.4 The gas flow pump and flow controller The Oxford Instruments GF4 gas flow pump is used to promote the flow through the cryostat. It is an oil-free, twin-piston pump with a nominal displacement of 42 litres per minute. The air leak rate is guaranteed to be less than 10cm /min.
Examine the system to make sure that it has not been damaged since it left the factory. If you find any signs of damage please contact Oxford Instruments immediately. To run this system you need the following components: •...
