Key Features

Low-profile permits rotation of turret without interference - no adjustment needed to switch objectives
Allows temperature adjustment from 5°C over ambient temperature up to 60°C
Portable - can be easily moved between microscopes
Easily test using included Temperature Validation Slide
Internal PID calibration (see below) and ability to enter a Shift Value to optimize accuracy
Key lock feature to prevent inadvertent change in set temperature
Easy insertion and removal of analysis chamber (push on, slide off) while on stage

PID Calibration

The MiniTherm Plus uses Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control for stable temperature maintenance. The MiniTherm Plus controller is calibrated at room temperature 25°C ± 2℃ (77°F ± 4°F) before shipping. If the temperature of the heating plate is not stable in your usage environment, the controller can be recalibrated by performing PID calibration.
