Linkam THMS600 Heating and Freezing Microscope Stage

The THMS600 is one of the most widely used heating and freezing microscope stages on the market. Over 1000 stages have been sold around the world to date. The THMS600 is used in many applications where high heating/freezing rates and 0.1°C accuracy and stability are needed.
The Linkam THMS600 Heating and Freezing Stage is used in many applications where high heating/freezing rates and 0.1°C accuracy and stability are needed.

The sample is mounted 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.

Liquid samples can be introduced into the stage with a quartz crucible through the side door without having to remove the lid.

The response time to a 'Hold' or 'Limit' command where the temperature is stable to 0.1C is only 0.1 seconds at 30°C/min.

    Temperature range -196° to 600°C (cooling option required)
    Up to 150°C/min heating, 100°C/min Cooling (using LNP95 cooling pump)
    Temperature stability <0.1°C
