The Kerr Microscope is an advanced instrument designed for high resolution magnetic microscopy, offering unparalleled performance in the study and analysis of magnetic materials and phenomena. Equipped with a comprehensive set of objectives including 5×, 20×, 50×, 100×, a high-temperature compensated 50×, and a non-magnetic objective, this microscope delivers exceptional versatility for various experimental requirements. Each objective is meticulously engineered to provide precise imaging capabilities, enabling researchers to observe minute magnetic structures with great clarity and detail.
One of the standout features of this Kerr Microscope is its impressive optical resolution of 450 nanometers (Nm). This high level of resolution ensures that even the smallest magnetic domains and subtle changes in magnetic properties can be visualized accurately. The microscope’s optical system is optimized to deliver sharp, high-contrast images, essential for detailed magnetic analysis and research.
The Kerr Microscope incorporates a robust vertical magnetic field system featuring a water-cooled magnet. This magnet is capable of generating a magnetic field strength of up to 2 Tesla (T) at an air gap of 8.5 millimeters (Mm), and 1.3 T at an air gap of 12 Mm. Such powerful magnetic fields allow for extensive experimentation under varying magnetic conditions, enabling the study of magnetic behaviors in different materials with high precision. The water-cooling system ensures stable operation of the magnet by efficiently dissipating heat, which is crucial for maintaining consistent magnetic fields during prolonged measurements.
Temperature stability is another critical aspect of this instrument, with the Kerr Microscope maintaining temperature fluctuations within ±50 millikelvin (MK). This exceptional thermal control is vital for high temperature magnetic measurement, as it prevents thermal drift that could otherwise compromise the accuracy and repeatability of experimental results. The inclusion of a high-temperature compensated 50× objective further enhances the capability of this microscope to operate reliably under elevated temperature conditions, making it ideal for studying temperature-dependent magnetic phenomena.
To provide precise control over the magnetic environment, the Kerr Microscope features a magnetic field resolution system based on PID closed-loop feedback regulation. This sophisticated control mechanism allows for a magnetic field resolution as fine as 0.05 millitesla (MT), ensuring that the magnetic field can be adjusted and stabilized with exceptional accuracy. Such fine control is essential for experiments requiring delicate manipulation of magnetic fields to investigate subtle effects or transitions in magnetic materials.
The integration of an air-floating stage magnetic instrument within the Kerr Microscope setup further enhances its functionality and usability. The air-floating stage provides smooth, vibration-free movement and positioning of samples, which is crucial for high resolution magnetic microscopy. This design minimizes mechanical disturbances that could degrade image quality or affect magnetic measurements, thereby improving the overall reliability and precision of the instrument.
In summary, the Kerr Microscope combines high resolution optics, powerful and stable magnetic field generation, precise temperature control, and advanced magnetic field regulation to deliver a state-of-the-art platform for magnetic research. Its robust features make it particularly suited for high temperature magnetic measurement applications and detailed investigations requiring high resolution magnetic microscopy. Whether used for fundamental research or applied material science, this instrument offers researchers a comprehensive and reliable solution to explore magnetic phenomena with unmatched clarity and precision.
