The THMSG600 is based on the design of the highly successful THMS600 stage and then upgraded and modified specifically for geological applications.
The THMSG Geology System is the solution for geologists looking for unrivalled temperature accuracy and control. This precision built hotstage can be found in a many Fluid Inclusion laboratories all over the world.
Unrivalled accuracy and control of temperature enable the user to characterize fluid inclusions to better than 0.1°C and hold a stability of 0.001°C. The THMSG600 has a temperature range of -196°C to 600°C.
The THMS600 is one of the most widely used heating stages on the market, and has now been modified with a special optical adapter to facilitate use on an ellipsometer.
LINKAM THMSEL600 Temperature Controlled Ellipsometer 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 no overshoot, then slowed down to a few tenths of a degrees per minute to closely examine sample changes. The THMSEL600 has a temperature range of -196°C to 600°C.
The THMS600-PS also has a safety release valve that ensures the system cannot be over pressurized.
Linkam THMS600-PS Heating and Cooling Stage
By pressurizing the sample chamber up to 14bar the THMS600-PS stage can be used to investigate the effects of pressure on the sample during heating and cooling experiments. This stage has been used in applications where minimizing sample evaporation and sublimation are required.
The FTIR600 stage, has been adapted from our market leading high precision THMS600 to allow infra red analysis of samples from -196 up to 600°C covering all applications from pharmaceutical to polymers on most benchtop IR microscope systems
LINKAM FTIR600 Heating and Freezing Stage for IR Microscopy and Spectroscopy
The FTIR600 stage can be mounted horizontally as in IR microscopy setups and vertically for cabinet type IR spectroscopy. The silver block has a tapered hole to allow maximum transmittance of IR without interference.

The Linkam optical DSC600 is a single cell system which overcomes the problem of baseline drift due to different heat flows into the sample and reference crucible.
Linkam DSC600 Optical DSC System
• Smaller furnace — faster response time.
• Compact size of the stage means it can be easily mounted on to FTIR, Laser
• Raman and Confocal microscopes.
• Suitable for reflected and transmitted light studies
• Simultaneous optical and enthalpy change data
• Heating and cooling to temperatures between -196°C (when used with the LNP95) and 600°C can be carried out at
rates of up to 100°C/min.
The system consists of the DSC600 stage, a T95-LINK PC interface controller and LINK software; the LNP95 cooling
system is optional and is required to achieve temperatures down to -196°C.
Product Details
The dynamic heating and cooling performance ensures that many electrical component temperature control applications are covered.
Linkam HFS600E-Heating and Freezing Stage
Up to 4 positional gold tipped, tungsten probes (other types can be used) can be connected to electrical connectors within the sample chamber and enable the user to make electrical measurements on the sample, while accurately controlling the temperature inside a gas tight environment. The sample is simply placed on the heating element and the probes moved manually to make contact at the appropriate points. Probes have excellent positional resolution enabling precise contact points to be made easily. This system can also be used vertically.

The MDS600 is a motorized version of the THMS600, one of the most widely used heating and freezing microscope stages on the market.
Linkam MDS600 Motorized XY Heating/Freezing System
The sample is motorized in X and Y directions by precision mico stepped motors that enable micron repeatable position resolution and position recall so that a sample can be mapped in order to quickly relocate positions of interest and carry out temperature controlled experiments significant to that point.
Unrivalled accuracy and control of temperature from -196 to 600°C.

The CAP500 stage is designed to heat and cool capillaries from -196°C up to 500°C. It can control the temperature of a ≤50mm section of high pressure (up to 600bar) quartz capillary..
Linkam CAP500 Heating and Freezing Stage
The capillary is inserted through the body of the chamber and housed in a 1mm x 0.6mm rectangular channel within a silver heating block. The block itself has been designed and engineered to minimise the temperature gradient across the length of the capillary and can provide accurate temperature readings to 0.1°C.
Capillaries which are loaded into the channel can be moved using the control mechanism to allow for observation across the length of the sample in the capillary. The CAP500 is suitable for capillaries with an outer diameter of ≤0.6mm. If you require use of different size capillaries, contact us as we may be able to provide a solution.
By using high pressure pump and pressure gauge it is possible to pump samples through the capillary at a specific pressure to investigate the rheology of the sample with respect to temperature and pressure using brightfield, IR or raman microscopy.
The CAP500 stage has also been used to study geological fluid inclusions created in quartz capillaries.
The RH95 quickly controls humidity inside a linkam stage or any other sealed chamber up to a volume of 2000cc from 5 to 90%.
Linkam RH95 Humidity Controller
Unlike other humidity systems, no costly dry air supply is required. Ambient air is dried through a specially designed automatic recycling desiccant system and so can be left controlling humidity for months at a time.
Rather than simply monitoring the humidity of the air supplied to the chamber we also place a sensor inside the chamber to create a feedback loop to the controller.
