The SMS microscope VGI is a custom-built accessory that allows the user to precisely control the temperature and humidity environment of a microscopy sample. The VGI2000M is designed for use with ultra-long working distance objectives, having working distances of 6mm or greater and using standard microscope slides as the sample mounting. For optical microscopy, the illumination techniques of transmission and reflection are supported whilst the viewing techniques of bright-field, dark-field and cross-polarised light can be applied. The VGI can also be used in conjunction with FTIR and Raman microscopes.
The VGI2000M controls the temperature and humidity around the sample using the unique SMS approach of an integrated peltier heat pump, circulating fluid pump and water reservoir (patent applied for) to ensure uniform temperature distribution and stable sample humidities. The sample window is double-glazed to prevent condensation of moisture when working at temperatures above or below ambient. The system is interfaced to a dedicated digital process controller allowing manual control and measurement of humidity in addition to programmed humidity profiles. PC based software allows greater programmable functionality, together with data acquisition and playback facilities. The option to fit IR transparent BaF2 windows is also provided for use of the accessory with IR microscopes. An organic option is available for working with solvents other than water.
