The ST-500 series probe stations from Janis are high-performance research tools manufactured to provide cost-effective vacuum and cryogenic probing of wafers and systems.
The well-established ST-500 cryostat forms the base for these probe stations, and includes low vibration technology to provide exceptional sample positional stability. Researchers rely on these systems to perform research in numerous fields such as ferroelectrics, MEMS, superconductivity, nanoscale electronics, optics, and material sciences.
Key Features
The main features of the ST-500 probe stations are:
