Heating & Cooling Stage MHCS400-DH
MicrOptik’s MHCS400DH is a temperature controlled heating/cooling stage with dual heater design. This stage design eliminates vertical temperature gradients in the sample chamber. MHCS400DH is ideal choice for thicker samples or when the best available temperature uniformity is needed.
MHCS400DH stages are ideal instruments for applications where a broad temperature range is required. MHCS400DH can be incorporated easily in any complex high‐tech setup.

MicrOptik has developed a MHCS400DH series of Heating and Cooling Stage with a wide temperature range to operate under atmosphere environments. MHCS400DH can contain a variety of samples including electro-optic devices and cell culture preparations. It may be easily incorporated into spectrometers and different lab systems. Thanks to inner thermal shell it is ultra high temperature stable. MHCS400DH series supplied with precession XY micro positioner to provide a correct sample position. MicrOptik’s MHCS400DH stages are developed to operate under atmosphere environments with temperature range -190°C to 400°C. MHCS400DH stages are supplied with a high precision MTDC600 programmable temperature controller. MTDC600 temperature controller can be operated by Software or Manually. It makes the system more adaptive and flexible. For applications below ambient temperature Liquid Nitrogen Cooling System LN2-SYS is provided.
