Deben COOLSTAGE
SEM Peltier Heating & Cooling
This product is available from Milexia France and Milexia Iberica
With increased use of Low Vacuum or Variable Pressure microscopes many microscopists appreciate the need to prevent dehydration of wet samples.
Saturated vapour pressure of water decreases considerably with temperature. At room temperature water will very quickly evaporate causing considerable changes to the specimen structure.
By cooling a wet specimen water evaporation may be slowed or depending on chamber pressure stopped altogether.
In a dry low vacuum environment operating the SEM at low vacuum pressures and cooling the specimen to around -25°C, dehydration can be substantially reduced.
