CS210-GMX-20B
The CS210-GMX-20B is our ultra low vibration closed cycle cryostat for UHV applications. The ARS manufactured GMX-20B interface, like our "B" series cold heads, is a true UHV system (10-11 Torr) where all of the rubber o-ring seals have been replaced with welded joints and metal seals. A CF flange is directly welded to the interface.
The GMX-20B also has the advantage of being easily bakeable to 200 C because the DE-210 cold head can be quickly removed from the GMX-20B interface without breaking vacuum.
The GMX-20 interface opens up a wide range of capabilities never before possible with a closed cycle cryocooler. The GS204-DMX-20B uses a helium exchange gas to decouple the sample from the cold tip of the DE-210 cryocooler. This prevents almost all vibration from being transmitted to the sample. Scientists have demonstrated vibration levels as low as <10 nm with the GMX-20 Series of interfaces.
Because the exchange gas is inherently less efficient than cooling by conduction, the base temperature of the sample will be ~1 K higher than the cryocooler. Additionally the GMX-20 interface requires a downward orientation of the cold tip to facilitate convective cooling of the exchange gas.
