Temperature Control Stages
Hysitron
offers an array of temperature control stages to compliment the TI and TS-series of instruments. Using a temperature control stage allows
the user to test samples at non-ambient temperatures. Testing at non-ambient
temperatures is important when working with biomaterials, polymers,
semiconductors and many other materials that are intended for real-world
applications at elevated or reduced temperatures.
37 Degree Temperature Control Stage
The 37 degree
temperature control stage was developed by Hysitron to offer TI-series users a platform for testing
biological samples. The 37 degree temperature control stage operates from room
temperature up to 37° C. The simplified operation of the 37 degree temperature
control stage does not require any gain settings or additional software and is
ready to use out of the box.
100/200 Degree Temperature Control Stage
Hysitron
offers a 100 or 200 degree temperature control stage for the TI-series of instruments. The 100/200 degree
temperature control stage is capable of operating from -10° C up to 100° C or
200° C. The 100/200 degree temperature control stage is a liquid-cooled device
that includes the following components:
- Temperature control stage
- Stage control unit
- Heat shield to potect the transducer and scanner at elevated temperatures
- Advanced TriboTC software integrated into TriboScan with tunable PID gains
Both the 100 and 200 degree temperature control stage utilizes a Peltier device for heating and cooling. In addition to the Peltier device, the 200 degree temperature control stage has an additional resistive heater to achive higher temperatures.

400 Degree Temperature Control Stage
Hysitron
developed the 400 degree temperature control stage to offer TI-series users the same ease-of-use as
available with the 100/200 degree temperature control stage but with the
ability to achieve temperatures from room temperature up to 400°
C. The 400 degree temperature control stage is a liquid-cooled unit
that uses a resistive heating element. The 400 degree temperature control stage
also uses TriboTC software with tunable PID gains for adjusting the temperature
settings.
100 Degree TS-Series Temperature Control Stage
A temperature control stage has been developed by Hysitron for small sample TS-series instruments. This resistive heating element allows for precise control of the sample temperature from room temperature up to 100° C. The design and availability of a temperature control stage for TS-series instruments will vary by the AFM interface.
