[OpenSPIM] Temperature control for the SPIM chamber

[edgar.escobar.nieto at ipt.fraunhofer.de]

Dear Jan,

Thanks a lot for the information, it is very helpful.

I have seen that there are on internet some temperature controllers for ca. $25 
http://www.ebay.de/itm/All-purpose-Temperature-Controller-STC-1000-Whit-sensor-/320628773067
http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_112617/article.html

or this one that looks more complex
http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=14

but I don't know if these kind of controllers are suitable for our application.

The advantage of this ones is that I wouldn't need to build the circuit for conditioning the
signal for the PT100 sensor and avoid writting a program for controlling the temperature.
So the temperature control would be independent.

What's your opinion?

Kind regards,
Edgar

Hi!

I'm attatching a picture of our chamber ... if that helps ;-) ... Have 
you already decided on a temperature controller? As I mentioned before, 
we have a homebuilt one and I'm using these PT100 to embed into the 
sample chamber:

For measurement in the chamber I found thin PT100 from stainless steel: 
http://www.temperaturmesstechnik.de/fileadmin/user_upload/pdf/tmh-mantelwiderstandsthermometer-001.pdf 
... but they are rather expensive (~55EUR+VAT)

About the foil: The ones I found a few years ago were all very large ... 
if you find a small one, please let me know ;-)

Best,
JAN
