Continuous Flow Cryostat Slideshow
This device has been developed to provide a continuous flow of nitrogen in our cryostat. This automatic system avoid human interventions to maintain the cryostat temperature to pre-define set up point. The system has been implement on many ESO instruments like for instance VIMOS, NACO, HARPS, GIRAFFE...
