Optical Spectroscopy
X-1AL
Economy

This low cost vacuum shroud is well suited for electrical, magnetic, and optical experiments. It provides up to 4 windows and has F/1.0 to collect weak signals. The sample space is 1.4 inches in diameter by 1.5 inches long. The vacuum shroud attaches via a double o-ring which allows for rotation under vacuum. The threaded aluminum radiation shield allows for easy optical alignment, without additional hardware.

X-4
Large Sample

This stainless steel vacuum shroud is designed for optical and electrical testing of large samples. It comes standard with 4 window ports and provides an option for a 5th window on top. With a sample space of at least 1.87 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches in length, this system is ideal when larger sample space is required. The vacuum shroud attaches via a double o-ring which allows for rotation under vacuum.

X-12
Narrow Gap

This narrow gap vacuum shroud is designed to be put between the poles of a magnet. Two window ports come standard, allowing for access perpendicular to the magnet poles. The window ports have a 1 inch diameter clear view and a sample space of at least 1 inch in diameter by 1.1 inches long. The X-12B provides a similar setup but is slightly narrower. This vacuum shroud attaches via a double o-ring and allows for rotation while system is running.

X-16SS
High Performance

This high performance vacuum shroud provides all of the benefits of the X-1SS and has a longer sample space, which makes it ideal for long samples and liquid samples. This vacuum shroud is well suited for electrical, magnetic, and optical experiments. The vacuum shroud attaches via a double o-ring which allows for rotation under vacuum. This system comes standard with a welded instrumentation skirt which allows for vacuum levels of 10-7 Torr.

X-19-OP
Sample in Vapor

These sample in vapor closed cycle cryostats feature a fast sample change and quick cooldown times. The helium vapor is particularly useful for cooling samples that do not conduct heat well. The optical systems come standard with 4 window ports and with warm and cold windows. A variety of options allow this system to be customized to fit the researcher's needs, including custom tail pieces, load lock gate valves and low vibration interfaces.

Ultra Low Vibration

The Ultra Low Vibration Interface allows for 3-5 nm of vibration at the sample. This system uses a helium exchange gas to decouple the cryocooler from the interface. This system comes standard with 4 window ports and has an F/1.4. The minimum sample space is 1.9 inches in diameter by 1.5 inches long. A wide variety of options are available for easy sample change and translation capabilities.
