Features and Benefits

This system is designed to offer the precision and stability of the THMS600 hotstage with a simpler temperature programmer than the TMS94 or CI94.

The THMS600 is one of the most widely used heating and freezing stages on the market. Over 800 stages have been sold around the world to date, it is used in many applications where high heating/freezing rates and 0.1°C accuracy and stability are needed.

The sample is loaded on a 0.17mm cover slip on a highly polished silver heating element to ensure excellent heat transfer and extremely sensitive temperature measurement. A platinum resistor sensor, accurate to 0.01°C provides far more accurate and stable temperature signal that can be achieved with a thermocouple.

The temperature is controlled by the TP94 controller which has a simple single line display and one ramp program consisting of a limit temperature and the rate of heating/cooling, limit temperature holding time is 999 minutes or when exit button is pressed. Heating rates are limited to 90C/min.

The Examina Lite system is designed for those who require a basic temperture control microscopy system but refuse to compromise on temperature accuracy and control.
