How to Wire to Your Sample in the Cryostation |
4 minutes |
|
This video shows the proper way to wire from the connectors in the cold space, including wire choice, coiling, thermal lagging and routing to your sample.
|
 |
Mounting Samples in the Cryostation |
4 minutes |
|
This video describes how the multi-functional sample mount works in the Cryostation and how to mount samples to the post. The mount allows your sample to be in the center of the chamber, or out near the windows.
