Linkam THMS600 Temperature Controlled Stage
The Linkam THMS600 is one of the most widely used heating and freezing microscope stages on the market. Over 1000 stages have been sold around the world to date. The Linkam THMS600 is used in many applications where high heating/freezing rates and 0.1°C accuracy and stability are needed.
Samples can be quickly characterized by heating to within a few degrees of the required temperature at a rate of up to 150°C/min with no overshoot, then slowed down to a few tenths of a degrees per minute to closely examine sample changes. The entire experiment can be saved as an online plot or exported to a spreadsheet application.
There are various version options for this stage, including pressure, vacuum, electrical sample measurement and sample holders to mount the stage vertically in IR or x-ray spectrometers.
