Omicron Style Heating and Cooling Integrated Compact E-Beam Heating and LN₂ Cold Finger on Omicron Sample Holder

The Omicron Style Heating and Cooling stage delivers versatile, wide-range temperature control in a compact, UHV-compatible package built directly on a standard Omicron sample holder. This integrated design combines powerful electron-beam heating with efficient liquid nitrogen cooling, enabling precise thermal management on Omicron-style flag plates without compromising system footprint or sample transfer compatibility.

Wide-Range Temperature Performance
Electron beam heating provides reliable performance far beyond 1200°C with excellent temperature uniformity and rapid ramp rates—ideal for high-temperature annealing, thermal desorption, or materials processing. The dedicated LN₂ coldfinger with optimized thermal coupling supports efficient cryogenic cooling to LN₂ temperatures down to below -180°C for low-temperature experiments and stable sample control. Strategically placed thermocouples ensure accurate monitoring and closed-loop feedback across the full operating range.

Robust UHV Design and Compatibility
Engineered with clean, high-purity UHV materials, the stage maintains contamination-free operation and withstands repeated bake-outs. Its compact footprint integrates seamlessly with Omicron-compatible manipulators, transfer devices, and analysis chambers, offering both heating and cooling capabilities in a single, easy-to-use assembly.

This solution pairs perfectly with McAllister’s UHV target sample holders, transfer systems, and manipulators for complete sample handling in surface science, thin-film deposition, and advanced materials research.

Custom configurations—including power ratings, thermocouple placement, or mounting adaptations—are available to meet your exact experimental requirements. Contact us to discuss how this Omicron-style heating and cooling stage can be tailored to your UHV system.
