IP65 transducer signal amplifiers designed for wet environments
With low output voltage from a transducer it is frequently essential to provide signal amplification close by to ensure good noise immunity. When this also happens to be in a wet environment then RDP Electronics Ltd's S7 amplifier series supplied in rugged die-cast aluminium housings with cable glands and seals rated to IP65 meet this environmental protection need and provides effective electrical screening.
Studies facilitated by a range of instrumentation
Oxford Instruments has just installed its first Cryofree® dilution refrigerator in Spain to Dr Enrique Diez from Salamanca University. Dr Diez works on the popular subject of graphene, whose importance was recently recognised through the award of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. This new instrument, purchased using EU Feder funds, will enable continuous measurements from 10 mK up to 40 K from one cryostat and without the need for liquid cryogen...
