The cryostat employs a continuous flow of precooled gas to maintain a small single crystal mounted on a fibre at -190° ± 2° C. The cooling chamber is completely enclosed so that a relatively small amount of coolant is required. Higher temperatures can be maintained to within two degrees by simply decreasing the gas flow rate.
