DESCRIPTION
The TP102G-PM (V10.00.01) is a gastight or vacuum tight, temperature-controlled probing stage capable of heating and cooling between -40°C and 150°C. Four (4) independent electrical probers are manually positioned onto the sample, which rests on a 40mm x 40mm Clear anodized thermal block. Thermoelectric heating and cooling provides precision temperature control with incredible stability, and without the need for consumable cryogens.
The TP102G-PM gastight chamber supports a positive-pressure gas purge up to +0.5 Bar for reactive/ Inert gasses or humidity control. The alternative TP102V-PM model comes with a vacuum-tight chamber, and is rated for a positive pressure +0.5 Bar gas purge, or a rough 10*10^-3 mBar evacuation for prevention of condensation or oxidation while heating/ cooling.
This miniature probing stage is ideal for performing electrical device or materials characterization, and can easily be used with optical instruments to add temperature control capabilities to almost any optical tool.
Upgrade to the TP102G-PM+ model to access advanced customization options such as additional electrical feedthroughs, transmission apertures, triaxial/ SMA connector options, custom lids and much more.
