How to get a Sample from A to B in an Ultra High Vacuum System

A few weeks ago I visited Daniel from Omnivac. This company specializes in the development and construction of ultra-high vacuum components and entire systems. We talked about many highly interesting topics. Inverse Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Electron Beam Evaporators and Ultra High Vacuum components in general. In this video I will talk about Radial Distribution Chamber (RDC).

„The OmniVac RDC Distribution Chambers are the central element of our multichamber UHV-systems. It provides access to up to 8 individual chambers for e.g. preparation, storage or analysis. The RDC distribution chambers start with a diameter of 700 mm and offer a translation distances to each sample holder station in the different chambers beginning at 475 mm. An optional telescopic transfer arm allows for transfer lenghts up to 820 mm.
For sample holder reception and fixation a carabiner mechanism is used enabling safe and reliable transfer of your samples. Under common conditions a transfer can be performed in less than one minute, enabling nearly continuous heating or cooling of a sample.
Up to three DN 250CF windows provide full optical insight to all phases of the sample transfer process.“
