Physitemp Instruments has now added computer control to its existing line of Thermal Microscope Stages. The new WindowsTm based self-installing software allows even the most complex temperature profiles to be described quickly and easily as individual segments of time during which temperature may either remain constant, or change at a constant rate. "Loop-back" feature permits indefinite cycling of temperature. The software provides for ramp and soak temperature control of the thermo-electric stage with 0.1 degrees C accuracy, using an analog signal from the output of the TPC-WIN D/A card supplied with the software. Help screens and pull down menus provide simple to follow guides for configuring, calibrating and operating the software with all Physftemp Thermal Stages.
