NOMOVE OPTION
What is a HiRes-NOMOVE?
The sample holder is supported radially with opposing support forces and no physical support from the cold finger. The sample is physically decoupled from the cold finger. The only contact between the sample holder and the cold finger is through a low vibration flexible coupling.

Any thermal contraction is toward the center of the sample, resulting in the lowest movement design. The supports are designed to operate in the elastic region; supports are rigid and under tension.

Also, movement toward or away from the window is virtually zero† because there is no support component in this direction.

† Setup Note: Sample watched through a 1 micron opening shows no observable movement!

Lowest Vibration
High Resolution
No direct contact between the flowing helium and the sample holder!
With the NOMOVE option the sample does not make direct contact with the cold finger. Flexible copper/silver low vibration strapping connects the sample holder to the cold finger.
