Superior design quality comes from years of experience. Instec, Inc. was founded in 1984 by a group of pioneering liquid crystal researchers from the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. When the prototype of the HS1 hot stage was built, their goal was to develop an instrument to meet the rigorous needs of their own academic research. The design of the HS1 was successful and resulted in the launching of Instec as a small garage-based company. Actually, to be honest, it was more like a toolbox in the corner of the garage. As the years progressed Instec expanded, first filling that garage to capacity, and then moving into its own design and manufacturing space. Instec’s customer base also broadened from academic researchers to include scientists and engineers from government and industrial organizations around the globe.

In this catalog, you will find a complete line of thermal microscopy products designed for liquid crystal, polymer, biological, and materials sciences, as well as many other fields of research. Instec welcomes the opportunity to provide cost-effective and innovative solutions for its customers, and takes great pride in its ability to provide customized solutions for nearly any thermal control application.

Corporate longevity comes from customer satisfaction and Instec is honored to have a large base of satisfied customers. For over thirty years, Instec has continued in its effort to respond to the needs of the technical community with innovative and effective products. Commitment to customers will remain the driving force of Instec’s continued success. We thank you, the customer, for the many opportunities you have provided over the years for Instec to service your research and development needs.

Instec’s hot and cold stages provide a temperature-controlled environment for applications where optical access to a heated or cooled sample is required. Instec hot and cold stages are ideal for applications including microscopy, spectroscopy, FTIR, and X-ray scattering. Our standard products cover a temperature range from -190°C up to 1500°C depending on the model. On the following pages you will find stages designed primarily for upright and inverted microscopes. Stages can be ordered with special features such as vacuum or gas-tight chambers, extra-wide viewing apertures, and dual heating. The selection guide can help you to find a stage which meets your needs, but please do not hesitate contact us, as we may be able to recommend a better or more cost effective system. We are here to help! Our knowledgeable staff can discuss any special requirements you may have and recommend the most appropriate hot and cold stage or a possible custom solution.

Instec was founded by a group of physicists with the goal of creating highly flexible hot and cold stages. To this end, Instec stages come with a variety of features. Windows are removable and exchangeable, and all stages can be mounted both vertically and horizontally. Thus a stage used on an optical microscope one day can be placed in a spectrometer or even taken to an X-Ray beam line the next. Inner covers are included to improve temperature uniformity in single-heater stages. When temperature uniformity is more critical, dual heater stages are available which heat from both above and below the sample. To accommodate a variety of sample sizes, Instec stages come in many different sample chamber areas, and optional spacer sets are available for many models to increase the sample chamber height. In most stages, standard windows are made exceedingly thin to minimize optical aberrations and are built with a dual pane construction for improved thermal isolation and uniformity. For operation below ambient temperature, all Instec cold stages feature built-in gas defrost channels through which dry gas can be directed to prevent window fogging. All Instec stages are also capable of having their chambers purged with an inert gas. Some stage models feature side loading to allow for quick and easy sample exchange without moving or disturbing the microscope. This also allows for a sample on a standard microscope slide to be manually manipulated from outside of the stage. If more precise control is needed, a precision X-Y micrometer positioner is available.

All Instec stages come configured with a stand-alone temperature controller. The mK2000 temperature controller offers 0.05°C temperature stability and 0.01°C temperature resolution for most Instec hot and cold stages. In addition, it offers a wealth of features such as built-in over-temperature protection and storage of user-defined temperature profiles. Our included thermal control software, WinTemp, logs and displays temperature vs. time plots and enables the quick and easy programming of almost any temperature profile. For those who want to integrate Instec temperature control into larger computer-controlled systems, we also offer free sample source code in LabVIEW and C++. For more information on the mK2000, please refer to the Accessories section of this catalog.
