CANBERRA CRYOSTATS LAST LONGER!

The liquid nitrogen cryostat is the most important, and the least appreciated, component in assuring reliable long term performance of a Ge detector system. CANBERRA Industries manufactures its own cryostats to exacting quality standards to ensure long detector life under the harshest operating conditions.

There are two basic types of cryostats in use: the dipstick, in which the detector occupies a vacuum chamber having a dipstick-like tail which is inserted into the neck tube of a Dewar, and the integral, in which the detector chamber and Dewar share a common vacuum.
