23. The Dimension 3100 sample chuck was replaced with a custom Invar sample chuck, in order to accommodate the height of our heat sink. The custom chuck was 12.1 mm thick vs the 17.6 mm thickness of the Dimension chuck. It should be noted, however, that the standard Dimension chuck could be used if the temperature stage were just 2.5 mm shorter. Removing this height from the heat sink should not affect the performance significantly.
24. Temperature was measured at the top of the fluid cell. The temperature difference between the top of the cell and the sample surface was found to be up to ∼1°C.
25. A coil of rigid copper tubing (OD 1/8 in.) was first tried as the heat exchanger, but vibrations from the pump were coupled too strongly to the stage to permit imaging. Flexible tubing provides less efficient heat removal, however, it did not couple any vibration to the stage.
