LINKAM (-196°C to 600°C) THMS600 Heating and Freezing Microscope Stage

The THMS600 Heating and Freezing Microscope Stage is used in many applications where high heating/freezing rates and 0.01°C accuracy and stability are needed. The THMS600 has a temperature range of -196°C to 600°C..

Linkam THMS600 Heating and Freezing Microscope Stage

Samples can be quickly characterized by heating to within a few degrees of the required temperature at a rate of up to 150°C/min with minimal overshoot, then slowed down to a few tenths of a degrees per minute to closely examine sample changes. The entire experiment can be saved as an online plot or exported to a spreadsheet application.

There are various version options for this stage, including Pressure, vacuum, eletrical sample measurement and sample holders to mount the stage vertically in IRor xray spectrometers.

  • Temperature range -196° to 600°C (cooling option required)
  • Up to 150°C/min heating, 100°C/min Cooling (using LNP95 cooling pump)
  • Temperature stability <0.1°C
  • 16 mm X,Y sample manipulation
  • Sample area 22 mm diameter
  • Quick-release gas valves for atmospheric control
  • 100ohm platinum resistor sensor. 1/10th Din Class A to 0.1°C
  • Light aperture – 2.0mm Ø
  • Silver heating block for high thermal conductivity
  • Direct injection of the coolant into the silver block
  • Single ultra thin lid window – 0.17mm
  • Objective lens working distance 4.5mm
  • Condenser lens minimum working distance 12.5mm
  • Range of condenser extension lenses available
  • Can be used with all microscope techniques
  • Water cooled stage body for high temperature work (>300°C)
