CT Heating and Cooling cell -20°C to +160°C for µXCT applications
The Deben peltier stage for X-Ray CT systems allows samples to be imaged in a frozen condition, a dual layer polystyrene (optional carbon) window prevents icing and allows samples to be rapidly cooled to ‐20°C. A variable height specimen holder allows samples to be placed at the optimum height for X‐Ray imaging and mounting adaptors are available for a range of µXCT stages. The cooling system is self contained and does not require an additional water chiller, pipes are flexible and easily allow 360° rotation.
