The TS1400XY stage has been designed specifically for geologists and metallurgists.
It offers a high-speed quench cooling feature to enable the user to quickly transfer
the sample to a cold quenching post. Cooling rates of up to 240°C per second can
be achieved. The ceramic heater surrounds the sample keeping the heat localised
to the sample.

The stage is controlled by Linkam’s temperature controller and delivers a temperature
range from ambient to 1400°C within a gas tight body and can heat samples at a rate
of up to 200°C/min. The sample is mounted onto a sapphire sample slide and can be
manipulated within the ceramic heater by 6mm in the X and Y axis
