cryo pump

cryo pump

The cryo-pump produces a cryogenic surface using a coolant such as liquid helium. Residual gas molecules are adsorbed to this surface resulting in a high vacuum. The working pressure is from 10-2 to 10-13 Pa. However, the pump is not suitable for adsorption of hydrogen, helium and neon. In the specimen chamber in a TEM, a fin cooled by liquid nitrogen is used to produce high vacuum.
