Name: Diacell® ST-DAC System - Almax easyLab
SKU: A91000

Diacell® ST-DAC System

Optical micro-spectroscopy, Cryostat with integrated DAC, Pmax = 20 GPa, Tmin = 4 K, WD = 11 mm

The Diacell® ST-DAC consists of a Lake Shore - Janis ST-500 continuous flow cryostat with an integrated CryoDAC-ST diamond anvil cell (DAC)
The system enables high pressure studies up to 20 GPa and temperatures down to 4 K
The system is a turn-key solution for microscopy, imaging, and high spatial resolution photoluminescence at high pressures and low temperatures
The cryostat combines low thermal expansion support structure and internal vibration isolation resulting in nanometre scale vibration and drift levels
The geometry offers a short working distance (for use with high magnification optics), and permits mounting on common microscope stages and translators
Recommended option: a temperature controller

Description

High pressure microscopy cryostat, the Diacell® ST-DAC System consists of a Lake Shore – Janis ST-500 continuous flow cryostat with an integrated CryoDAC-ST diamond anvil cell. The system is a turn-key solution for microscopy, imaging, and high spatial resolution photoluminescence at low temperatures and high pressures.

The cryostat combines low thermal-expansion support structure and internal vibration isolation resulting in nanometer scale vibration and drift levels. The geometry offers a short working distance (for use with high magnification optics), and permits mounting on common microscope stages and translators.

Options for the Diacell® ST-DAC System include a temperature controller with cable to cryostat.
