Claims8
A cold table for cooling samples on a work surface, comprising
- (a) a body defining the work surface of the table, the body being formed from a porous ceramic composite;
- and
- (b) a reservoir of cryogenic fluid for supplying cryogenic fluid to the work surface through the porous ceramic.
A cold table for cooling a sample on a work surface, comprising:
- (a) a member defining the work surface;
- (b) a porous ceramic composite body in contact with the member for transporting cryogenic fluid from a reservoir to the member to cool the work surface;
- and
- (c) a reservoir for cryogenic fluid in contact with the body.
