- Microscopy stage for geology
 - -190°C - 600°C
 - 28 mm × 30 mm sample area
 - sample side-loading
 - XY sample positioning
 - Gas tight
 
DESCRIPTION
Instec's HCS621GXY-GEO gas-tight stage is designed for applications where sample side-loading, a wide temperature range is needed and control over the atmosphere is critical. This stage features a silver heating and cooling block, providing the user with exceptional temperature uniformity. The gas-tight configuration provides a sealed chamber for gas purge to avoid condensation.
