DIL L74 Heating Microscope
Largest temperature range (-150°C to 2000°C) and vacuum tight sample chamber
Description
On point
The Linseis DIL L74 HM Heating Microscope is a highly advanced instrument that offers unique capabilities for real-time video investigations, setting it apart from other heating microscopes and dilatometers. This cutting-edge device allows for the observation of intricate details at the micron scale across a large field of view, measuring approximately 10mm x 14mm, at impressive data sampling rates of up to 10 data points per second. This remarkable capability enables researchers to study phenomena like sintering shrinkage, creep, melting behavior, volumetric changes, and contact angles in real time.
With this instrument, new application areas can be explored across a wide temperature range, spanning from -150 to 2000°C. Its vacuum-tight design, along with gas handling capabilities, ensures versatile and precise experimentation.
The robust software accompanying the instrument offers automatic video and image analysis, streamlining the process of evaluating results. It can even automatically determine critical parameters such as wetting and contact angles, as well as viscosity temperature points. Furthermore, the Linseis DIL L74 HM Heating Microscope complies with important standards, including DIN 51730, ISO 540, and CEN/TS 15404.

Applications
Ash melting microscope
- Softening Temperature: At this temperature, the material begins to soften, causing its edges to become rounded.
- Spheric Temperature: This temperature marks the point at which the material achieves a spherical shape, with its height matching the size of its baseline.
- Half Sphere Temperature: When the material reaches this temperature, it takes on a half-sphere shape, with its height being half the size of its baseline.
- Flow Temperature: At this temperature, the material undergoes significant transformation, becoming nearly liquid in nature. It typically has only one-third of the size of the half-sphere point, indicating substantial flow and deformation.
Contact angle
The measurement of contact angles is performed as part of the drop contour analysis, involving the optical assessment of the shadow image of the droplet. Furthermore, the Linseis heating microscope allows for precise determination of the contact angle’s temperature dependency.
