Configurable Analytical Stages for Advanced Surface Analysis

Our configurable analytical stages are designed to provide precise and versatile sample manipulation for a wide range of applications. Offering up to 5 axes of motion, these stages are ideal for surface analysis instrumentation and other high-precision tasks. The MultiCentre series stands out with its ability to accommodate various surface analysis sample holders including pucks, flags, and ESCA stubs.

Key Features

  • High Precision and Stability: The compact and high stability stages ensure exceptional performance with high precision, making them perfect for demanding analytical applications.
  • Modular Design: Our modular stage design allows for customisation to fit specific applications.
  • Innovative Sample Stage: Featuring an ultra-compact swept volume and a unique range of additional options, these stages are engineered for superior functionality in tight spaces.
  • Extreme Temperature Control: Capable of heating up to 1200°C and cooling to <30K (typically 25K), these stages are designed to handle both high-temperature and cryogenic environments. LN2 precooling is included to reduce LHe consumption and costs.
  • Continuous Azimuthal Rotation: Unique to our stages is the ability to provide continuous azimuthal rotation and LN2 cooling, enhancing the versatility of your analytical setup.
  • Sample Holder Compatibility: Compatible with flag, puck, and ESCA sample holders, our stages offer broad application support for various types of sample analysis.
