SHRIMP SI Cryo Pump Installed

Finally the new cryogenic pump is in place and working on SHRIMP SI. First attempt resulted in excess vibration being transmitted to the sample stage. Modified bellows and some heavy weights finally did the trick.

 

SHRIMP SI Upgrade January 2017

Our SHRIMP SI is being upgraded. The ion pump is being replaced by a cryogenic pump. Racks, hoist, source slit motor controllers are being replaced by new DMC cards.
