Cooling and heating chamber for powder diffraction
The Chimera is the new variable temperature chamber for flat plate powder samples from Oxford Cryosystems, with a temperature range of 70- 525 K, and excellent stability of 0.1 K. Unlike traditional cooling and heater chambers, the Chimera works by incorporating an Oxford Cryosystems single stage GM cooler, meaning that no liquid nitrogen is required.
Features of the Chimera
- Incorporates single stage Oxford Cryosystems GM coldhead, so no consumption of cryogens
- Temperature range of 70- 525 K and excellent stability of 0.1 K
- Ramp rates of 1-360 K/hour for complete temperature control
