SideKick

The SideKick is an ultra-high vacuum, ultra-low vibration, sub 4K cryostat that removes the cryocooler clutter from your table and provides access to your experiment from all sides. The cryogenic workspace is mounted to your existing table like other optical elements. It connects with a highly flexible bellows column to the cryo-cooler and mechanical pumps, which are referenced off the lab floor to separate pump vibrations from your sample and optics. The sample space environment uses low outgassing materials only and if you choose to bake the chamber, you can expect < 1E-8 torr before cooldown and 1E-11 torr once cold.
