Options for every application
Field installable options
These options can be ordered at any time and either configured with a probe station or installed in the field.
Installed options
Unless otherwise specified, these options must be configured at the time of probe station purchase.
Temperature
Vacuum
Temperature
VLT
Very low temperature
CPX
Extends the minimum sample temperature of the CPX probe
station to 1.6 K base temperature by lowering the pressure
inside the sample stage heat exchanger. Upgrades the
existing silicon diode sample stage sensor to a Cernox ®
sensor. Limits high end temperature of probe station to
400 K. The PS-VLT-CPX includes a SH-1.00-G grounded
sample holder, 4 K shield, rotary vane pump, manual valve
control, and connection adapters. The modified sample
stage is optimized for cooling 25 mm (1 in) samples.
Additional sample holders for the VLT operation are sold
separately. 3-phase 208 V 50/60 Hz operation. 50 Hz
operation may increase base temperature.
Vibration
Pneumatic vibration isolation system
CPX, CPX-VF, TTPX
For vibration sensitive applications, the PS-PVIS (PS-TTVIS
for the TTPX) configuration is recommended when probing
extremely fine detail, when making measurements that are
very sensitive to mechanical noise, or when there are likely
to be outside vibration sources near the probe station. The
option adds active pneumatic vibration isolation to the
integrated stand and requires a regulated source of 40 psi
compressed air or nitrogen.
Function
Heavy duty welded steel stand
TTPX
The PS-STAND-TTPX provides a stable platform for the
TTPX.
12:1 microscope upgrade
TTPX, CPX, CPX-VF, CRX-4K, CRX-6.5K, CRX-VF, CRX-EM-HF
Upgrades the probe station vision system to 12:1
microscope for higher magnification. See the Vision System
page for additional details.
360° sample stage rotation
EMPX-H2, CRX-EM-HF
Provides 360° rotation of the sample stage.
The PS-360-EMPX is recommended for
measurements that require changing the
sample alignment relative to the magnetic
field. The rotation stage is also useful for aligning GSG
probe tips for microwave measurements. Limits the overall
temperature range to 8 K to 400 K. The thermal gradient
between the top of the rotation stage and the sample stage
temperature sensor is
