This cryogen-free superconducting magnet is cooled by two closed-cycle refrigerators and has three available Inserts:
This is a large and highly complex system, and planning for experiments must begin well in advance of beamtime to determine compatibility. Instrument must support 2X 60A compressors.
The cart cannot be transported through doorways or lifted on the crane with the sample inserted.
Cart dimensions when fully assembled are (LWH) 3319 mm X 830 mm X 2042 mm.
