the next generation of cryogenics for high-resolution microscopy.

At Demcon kryoz we have developed an ultra-low- vibration miniature cryogenic cooler as a OEM-product. This cooler is designed specifically for use in high-resolution microscopy applications, including SEM, FIB and FM.

Its very small size, the ability to maneuver in six degrees of freedom, and a localized cooling- down ability to -175°C, makes it unique.

And all of this without using liquid nitrogen.

extreme stable position.

Low vibration level ~ 1 nm p2p.
Low drift levels of <3 nm min-1.

Performance testing was done using a TF Helios FIB/SEM/FM with the cryocooler mounted on a 5 DOF manipulation stage.
