Offers your Cryo samples maximum protection against ice contamination during lamellar milling in the Cryo-FIB.
CERES Ice Shield
Discover the CERES Ice Shield system
CERES Ice Shield is cooled with liquid nitrogen and provides Cryo-pumping to lower the partial pressure of water in the chamber and near the sample, thereby reducing parasitic ice growth at an unmeasurable level.
CERES Ice Shield is cooled with liquid nitrogen and provides Cryo-pumping to lower the partial pressure of water in the chamber and near the sample, reducing parasitic ice growth to a level not measurable.
Thanks to the innovative and patented design of the Cryo shutter, your Cryo sample is particularly protected from contamination from the electron column, preventing condensation on the sample. With the >10-fold decrease in ice contamination rate, you can prepare many more FIB coverslips before the first coverslip is covered with ice.
Essential for automated cryo-FIB procedures
Would you like to perform automated cryo-slip preparation to achieve high throughput? Imagine if most of your machined blades are contaminated with ice, how would that affect your search results?
With CERES Ice Shield, you can be sure that parasitic ice growth will not be the limiting factor.
In addition, CERES Ice Shield can be delivered as an option with an automatic liquid nitrogen recharge to guarantee an unlimited protection time for the CERES Ice Shield.
