ST-500 Series microscopy cryostats
Lake Shore SuperTran ST-500 Series continuous flow cryostats are specially designed for use in microscopy, imaging, and high spatial resolution photoluminescence. Combining the low thermal-expansion support structure and internal vibration isolation results in nanometer-scale vibration and drift levels. The cryostat geometry offers a short working distance for use with high magnification optics and permits mounting on common microscope stages and translators.

Vibration measured on a standard ST-500 cryostat cooled by an RGC system
The ST-500 Series includes several models to suit a variety of sample sizes and experimental configurations. The standard ST-500 features a short working distance, as small as 1 mm from microscope objective lens to sample. To accommodate restricted spaces such as in a superconducting magnet bore or electromagnet pole gap, the ST-500 can be fitted with an optional vacuum shroud extension. Also available: the ST-500-C and the ST-500-LGV.
ST-500-C
The ST-500-C has a very low profile at 29.5 mm (1.16 in) for fitting in the smallest vertical spaces
ST-500-LGV
The ST-500-LGV enables mounting very large samples such as semiconductor wafers or multiple samples simultaneously
