Product Description
The TS1000 stage is ideally suited to the study of ceramics, metallurgy, materials and geology at both high and low heating and cooling rates.
The sample is placed directly in the 17mm diameter ceramic crucible so that the sample is heated from underneath as well as from the sides. The T96 controller enables the stage to heat samples at an impressive 200°C/min. Please note that this stage is not suitable for samples that will flow when they melt.
The TS1000 can be ordered as a vacuum modified stage with vacuum connectors and optional MV196 motorised valve unit enabling vacuum control within the stage. Electrical connections can also be added to the TS1000 stage to enable measurement of electrical properties during heating experiments.
The TS1000 can be used with NEXUS software for computer control and recording, or a LinkPad touch screen for stand-alone control.
