Vacuum, cryo & magnet compatible
Monitor stress and strain with a built-in force and displacement sensors down to mK temperature and up to 30T magnetic fields: ideal for the study of superconductors and other strongly correlated electron systems.

90° transmission window
Most scattering and diffraction measurements require a wind angle of access to the sample, on the front and back of the device. The UC2X0T has a 90° transmission cone at the back and between 150-180° access on the front suitable for a wide range of beamline experiments

Prepare in advance for beam time
If a sample unexpectedly breaks during beam time, replacing the sample require waiting several hours for glue to cure. For time-critical applications, the
The SR200T sample carriers can even be shipped out to users so samples can be mounted in advance.
Measure Force & Displacement
The UC2X0T measures both force and displacement making it instantly clear if a sample is broken or slipping in the glue, saving time and confusion. It also allows changes in the Young's Modulus, due to electronic transitions, to be observed. This technique has been recently published in the high-profile journal, Science.
