New features allow researchers to have more control over their stage configuration and analyse samples at low temperatures
Manufacturer Linkam Scientific Instruments has released an update to its specialist cryo-CLEM microscope.
The CMS196V4 update supports cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy, allowing researchers to analyse samples at temperatures < -195 degrees Celsius.
“The modifications to our market-leading cryo-stage provide researchers with a valuable tool to unlock new insights using Cryo-CLEM microscopy,” said Linkam sales and marketing director Clara Ko.
“The new features will allow researchers to exert more control over their stage configuration, while also enjoying simplified set-up with improved topology and overall user experience.”
The improved user interface features a touch panel and joystick for easier use, while an encoded and motorised XY stage encourage automated, high-precision mapping of sample grids.
The new stage also offers different sample holders and interface options for the newly-interchangeable optical bridge.
Installation is also made easier through the stage’s improved cable management and simplified topology.
The stage features a cordless heated magnetic lid, auto-fill dewar with drip-feed and an objective lens heater for superior drift performance.
Linkam has also developed a modular imaging platform with motorised Z-axis control and a sliding mechanism that improves access to samples and supports multiple microscopy techniques.
Last year, Linkam launched its enhanced HFS600E-PB4 probe stage for use in micro-sized electrical component temperature control applications.
