Detector Dewars

 
Metal dewars for cooling scientific-grade detectors have been a cornerstone of our business since its inception.  Our products are used to cool infrared, radiation, CCD, and other detectors.  Detectors may be cooled by direct or indirect contact with a cryogen or other mechanical or electric device.
