Data Sheets
Overview
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. temperature controller uses a patented thermal insulation and compensation design to deliver precise temperature control for high resolution scanning probe microscopy (SPM). It allows imaging during temperature changes and is fully compatible with all imaging modes. The unique sample plate has built-in temperature control and offers excellent thermal stability for SPM imaging. The temperature controller provides a rapid settling time, thereby allowing the sample plate to reach temperature quickly and hold constant temperature for long periods of time. Keysight’s temperature control design isolates the sample plate from the rest of the SPM system. An insulated ceramic fixture protects the surrounding apparatus from the effects of heating or cooling, thus providing the most precise, stable temperature control available for SPM.
Features and Benefits
Applications
Three Plates Available
Three temperature control plates are available. These plates can heat, cool, and precisely maintain extreme temperatures (from -30° C to 250°C) during SPM imaging and spectroscopy. The Keysight temperature plates are easily added to any member of the AFM/SPM product lines. The plates are seamlessly integrated with the compact, rigid design of the microscope and top-down multipurpose scanners in order to provide exceptional flexibility and ensure high-resolution results. These three plates are also compatible with Keysight’s environmental chambers, so vapor condensation can virtually be eliminated — even at extreme temperatures. The plates are compatible with Keysight’s fluid cells as well.
Temperature and Environmental Control
Keysight offers a complete solution for AFM and SPM imaging in ambient air or fluids under controlled temperature and environmental conditions. When used with our environmental isolation chamber or glove box, the Keysight temperature controller provides unparalleled capability for high-resolution imaging. Sample contamination and water condensation are eliminated.
Application and Suitability
Temperature control plays a critical role in SPM research. Temperature can be used to modify molecular structures and accelerate, inhibit, and control the rates of many chemical reactions. In material sciences, temperature is used to control phase transition of materials such as co-polymer and crystal growth. Temperature also plays a very important role in life sciences. For example, physiological processes can be accelerated or decelerated, the structures of many biological molecules can be altered, and biomolecular binding events can be controlled all by heating or cooling.
