The PP3010 is a highly automated, easy to use, column-mounted, gas-cooled cryo preparation system suitable for most makes and models of SEM, FE-SEM and FIB/SEM.

The PP3006 CoolLok offers rapid transfer and cryo temperature observation of specimens for SEM, FIB/SEM, beamline or other vacuum systems. Freezing is on-contact with the pre-cooled SEM or FIB/SEM cold stage, or specimens can be rapidly pre-frozen in slushy liquid nitrogen using the optional freezing station (24425). Applications include thermal protection of beam-sensitive specimens and low temperature observation of materials such as plastics, polymers low-K dielectrics and hard-soft mixtures. The system can also be used for inert gas transfer of ambient temperature specimens from a glove box.

The SEMCool is based on the PP3006 CoolLok but without the airlock components. It is designed for cryogenic applications where airlock exchange of specimens into the microscope is not required.
