Low drift rate. High spatial resolution.

Temperature regulated enclosures

Scanning NV magnetometry allows high spatial resolution image taking down to a few tens of nanometers. The spatial resolution sets an upper bound for the drift rate of the NV microscope. We design our enclosures to keep the drift rate one order of magnitude lower than the achievable spatial resolution.

Enclosure – Elite edition

  • Improved temperature regulation
  • Small footprint
  • Integrated sample electrical feedthroughs
  • Cu-Ni mesh provides full EMI shielding

Enclosure – Flex edition

Additional options

Temperature stabilization

Reduce drift rate to <5 nm over 10 hours

  • Adding the temperature stabilization (<0.1 °C variation) to the enclosure minimizes sample drift and ensures reliable data. 
  • After a sample or tip exchange, the temperature regulation system begins stabilizing the air temperature to the desired operating setpoint. Full thermal equilibrium is reached when the microscope body matches the air temperature, typically within 12 to 24 hours. Once in equilibrium, the drift rate is less than a few nanometers per hour.
