Hot-stage microscopy (HSM)
Hot-stage microscopy (HSM) analysis enables the direct visualization of materials under controlled temperature conditions. Capabilities include:
Examining compound morphology and particle characteristics.
Observing solid-solid transformations, melting/liquefaction, solidification, sublimation, and evaporation.
Monitoring how different compounds interact, dissolve, or react with each other.
Tracking crystal growth and growth rates.
Utilizing the Kofler mixed fusion method for salt/co-crystal screening.
Observing oxidation and other chemical reactions as they occur under heat.
The results will include microscope pictures and video showing the transitions during heating.
Measurement specifications:
Temperature range: 25 °C to 375 °C
Humidity control: 5–90% RH
Instrument details:
The instrument set-up comprises a heating stage (hot stage) with a sample holder, coupled with a polarized-light microscope and a system that allows temperature measurements and video/picture recording.
