Iris sample environment
IRIS accepts a wide range of sample environments.
Two different Sample Geometries can be used:
- Flat - aluminium alloy cans of 40mm x 40mm for powders, liquids or films, with varying thicknesses (0.1, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 2 mm)
- Annular - aluminium alloy cans 50mm tall for powders, liquids or films, with varying thicknesses (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mm)
- Annular with gas loading capabilities (please ask your local contact)
These most commonly used Sample Environment are given below. For further details please either ask your local contact or refer to the ISIS Sample Environment webpage.
| Bore diameter (mm) | Temperature range | |
| Top-Loading Closed Cycle Refrigerator [standard on IRIS] | 100 | 4K to 673K |
| Orange and Blue Cryostats, with V or Al tails | 50 and 100 | 1.5K to 330K |
| Dilution refrigerator | 50 | down to 50mK |
| Constant humidity biological sample changer (Parma sample changer) | -20°C to 100°C | |
| Furnaces | 18°C to 1000°C | |
| Pressure rigs for gas and liquid handling | please ask your local contact | |
