Adjustable Electrical Probe Station

Overview Specifications Software Video Library Application Related Products Order Now!

The Electrical Probe Temperature Stage is a product designed to characterize the temperature dependence of electrical properties during the heating and cooling phases of materials research. Based on the optical temperature stage, an electrical module has been added. By moving the needle pin during testing, the tip of the needle can be brought into contact with any area of the sample surface. The electrical signal is transmitted to the instrumentation for electrical testing through the wiring connected to the needle holder, and the electrical properties of the material at variable temperatures are analyzed.
