Sample Heating Stages Overview
Sample heating stages are critical components in various scientific and industrial applications, particularly those involving material science, vacuum technology, and high-temperature experiments. The stages you mentioned are ready-to-use and provide different heating methods (Boralectric, Direct Current, and E-Beam), each with distinct temperature capabilities and configurations.
Key Features
Mounting
- All configurations are mountable to a single DN40CF-flange.
- Customizable distance from flange face to the center (or surface) of the sample plate to suit specific applications.
Wiring and Feedthroughs:
- Vacuum-sided wiring and necessary electrical feedthroughs are included.
Types of Heating Stages:
1. Boralectric Heating Stage
