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. Supplied with a high-efficiency transfer line.

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
