PRESS RELEASES — Montana Instruments Corporation announces the upcoming Spring 2022 release of their brand-new cryogenic nanopositioner, The Rook™.
“The Rook™ has the lowest 3-axis vibrations to keep samples in focus,” said Product Manager Sal Guarnieri. Other features include:
- 3-axis design for optimal sample temperature and motion control
- Low vibrations
- Robust and reliable design
- Fully integrated plug-and-play control
- Galaxy software control, remote monitoring, and scripting
- Best-in-class thermal links
“Performance for The Rook is specified at the top of the 3-axis stack,” said Guarnieri, “providing the user with clear expectations of what is happening at the sample in terms of temperature, vibrations, and bi-directional run-out.”
The Rook™ is specifically designed for use in Montana Instruments’ CryoAdvance™ workhorse cryostat (released in September 2021), a low-vibration, cryogen-free system that allows users to access cryogenic temperatures in a 50mm (3.2K – 350K) or 100mm (3.4K-350K) sample chamber. It can also be utilized in the Cryostation® s200, Montana Instruments’ largest and most versatile closed-cycle cryostat, with 200mm of sample space of configuration.
“The Rook™ is a game changer in cryogenic nanopositioner technology,” said Montana Instruments CEO Mark Carroll. “We’re excited to make it available in our configurable cryostats.”
