Recirculating Gas Cooler
Existing liquid-helium-cooled microscopy cryostats can be converted to cryogen-free operation with the addition of an external cryocooler, the Janis Recirculating Gas Cryocooler (RGC4). Instead of using liquid helium from a storage vessel, the RGC4 delivers a stream of 4°K helium to the microscopy cryostat. This combination provides positional stability to <10 nm and is suitable for micro-PL, micro-Raman, and other vibration-sensitive techniques.

Bunton Instrument Introduces RetroBOT – Motorized XYZ for Upright Optical Microscopes
RetroBOT components are 3D-printed, and the conventional XYZ stepper motors are connected to the Bunton Arduino controller that comes with each system. A demo is available on YouTube channel “TheMICROBG.” This is a good hardware solution for image stitching and z-stacking. It can be used with small-format or large-format digital cameras (DSLR). It is shown here with the USA-made InFocus that replaces the trinocular tube, viewing oculars, and expensive camera couplers. RetroBOT developer kits are now available.
