The LTS120 Peltier system includes an easy to use temperature control microscope stage that uses a 40mm x 40mm element to control the temperature of your sample which is mounted on a regular microscope slide and can be moved 15mm in both X and Y directions.
The sample area is easily accessed by a large swing out lid. Simply place your sample in the stage and set up a temperature control profile either using the touch screen LCD display of the T96 Peltier controller or add LINK software to record the data plot of the experiment. Add the LINK image capture option to save a gallery of time-lapse images with your temperature data.
Sample temperature can be controlled from 0.1°C to 30°C/min in the range of -25°C to 120°C using the supplied WCP (Water Circulation Pump). For temperatures down to -40°C add an optional water chiller.
The stage body has gas valves to enable gas purging of the sample environment.
The LTS120 is compatible with our optional NEXUS software to add features such as data logging, charting, data export options and modules for adding further capability, including imaging and image analysis.
The LTS120E system has electrical connectors inside the sample chamber to enable electrical measurements to be made on the sample while varying sample temperature. As standard, the systems are supplied with the Linkam WCP Water Circulation Pump.
