HIGH TEMPERATURE MODULES

The high temperature module HTM-400 is retrofittable to Alemnis Indenter. It can be used in air up to 200°C. For higher temperature, the Indenter should operate in vacuum (e.g. inside a SEM). It comprises of independent tip and sample heating.

The High Temperature Module consists of:

• One sample holder with heating capability up to 400°C (in vacuum);
• One indenter holder with heating capability up to 400°C (in vacuum);
• Three thermal sensors (resolution < 0.1 °C);
• Cooling braids, plate and tubing, incl. feedthroughs for the pipes;
• Water circulation and chiller;
• Electronics, heating power and control, cables and connectors;
• SEM feedthroughs for power and temperature sensors;
• High temperature control software (two independent temperature control loops: one for the sample, one for the tip).

The high temperature module HTM-800 is retrofittable to Alemnis Indenter. It can be used in air up to 200°C. For higher temperature, the Indenter should operate in vacuum (e.g. inside a SEM). It comprises of independent tip and sample heating.

The High Temperature Module consists of:

• One sample holder with heating capability up to 800°C (in vacuum);
• One indenter holder with heating capability up to 800°C (in vacuum);
• Indenter and sample radiation shields
• Three thermal sensors (resolution < 0.1 °C);
• Cooling braids, plate and tubing, incl. feedthroughs for the pipes;
• Water circulation and chiller;
• Electronics, heating power and control, cables and connectors;
• SEM feedthroughs for power and temperature sensors;
• High temperature control software (two independent temperature control loops: one for the sample, one for the tip).

The high temperature module HTM-1000 is retrofittable to Alemnis Indenter. It can be used in air up to 200°C. For higher temperature, the Indenter should operate in vacuum (e.g. inside a SEM). It comprises of independent tip and sample heating.

The High Temperature Module consists of:

• One sample holder with heating capability up to 1000°C (in vacuum);
• One indenter holder with heating capability up to 1000°C (in vacuum);
• Three thermal sensors (resolution < 0.1 °C);
• Cooling braids, plate and tubing, incl. feedthroughs for the pipes;
• Water circulation and chiller;
• Electronics, heating power and control, cables and connectors;
• SEM feedthroughs for power and temperature sensors;
• High temperature control software (two independent temperature control loops: one for the sample, one for the tip).

The high temperature module HTME-1000 is a heating stage specifically designed for Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) analysis of a heated sample. It is not mountable on an Alemnis Standard Assembly (ASA) but is used freestanding in any SEM.  It is designed for operation in vacuum and is optimized so that radiative heating of the sample is minimized at temperatures > 500°C to ensure the best possible EBSD analysis.

The High Temperature Module for EBSD consists of:

• One sample holder with heating capability up to 1000°C (in vacuum);
• One thermal sensor mounted on sample holder (resolution < 0.1 °C);
• Cooling connections and tubing, incl. feedthroughs for the pipes;
• Water circulation and chiller;
• Electronics, heating power and control, cables and connectors;
• SEM feedthroughs for power, cooling and temperature sensors;
• High temperature control software
