DESCRIPTION
INSTEC's TS102/TS102XY is a thermoelectric (Peltier) based stage that can provide cooling to -40°C without using liquid nitrogen. This simplifies the system setup, reduces operating costs, and makes it a convenient choice for performing long duration experiments at low temperatures. The TS102/TS102XY features convenient side loading of samples and accommodates standard 25mm x 75 mm microscope slides as well as Instec liquid crystal cell holders.
The TS102/TS102XY is a perfect choice for researchers needing both heating and cooling over a moderate temperature range.
