Measuring Earth’s magnetic field strength and orientation
The new F71 Multi-axis teslameter from Lake Shore Cryotronics features in an excellent video on the YouTube channel of Brainiac75.
In the short film he demonstrates how to measure Earth’s magnetic field strength and orientation with the instrument’s sensitive 3-axis probe, proving how much easier it is to do so without using a compass, magnets or a protractor – you need to watch from the beginning to see this bit.
Brainiac75 features a lot of magnet/magnetism related material on his channel, so it’s well worth a look. It may get stuck on you, as we were quite drawn to it!
Next week, we’re at Magnetism 2018 with Lake Shore Cryotronics
Next Monday and Tuesday, the 9th and 10th of April, we will be at the University of Manchester for Magnetism 2018, supporting the Lake Shore Cryotronics team. A mix of invited talkers and submitted contributions will be exploring the breadth of magnetism research in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Subjects will include the areas of thin films and nanostructures, spintronics, permanent magnetic materials, correlated electrons, nanoparticles and biological/biomedical applications of magnetism, computational magnetism and more.
This week, we’re in Dublin for INTERMAG
INTERMAG is the IEEE’s premier conference on applied magnetics and information storage technologies, covering diverse topics such as magnets and magnetic materials, microscopy and the life sciences, motors, transformers and more.
An exhibition runs alongside, and representatives from Elliot Scientific will be assisting our friends from Lake Shore Cryotronics on their stand from Tuesday the 25th to Thursday the 27th. We look forward to seeing you there.

Lake Shore’s 7400 Vibrating Sample Magnetometer is the most sensitive available today
Lake Shore’s Vibrating Sample Magnetometer systems (VSM) can measure all types of magnetic materials in bulk, powder, thin film, single crystal, and liquid form, and the latest 7400 series Vibrating Sample Magnetometer is the most sensitive VSM available today.
This VSM features a noise floor of 1 x 10-7 emu at 10 seconds/point sampling, 4 x 10-7 emu at 1 second per point and 7.5 x 10-7 emu at 0.1 seconds per point. In addition to providing the lowest noise floor, the 7400’s patented technology leads to a stability of 0.05% per day which surpasses the stability of any other commercial VSM.
Under full software automation it can measure and record hysteresis M(H) loops, torque curves, isothermal and DC demagnetisation remanence curves, and temperature dependent magnetic properties.
Models based on variable gap 4″, 7″ and 10″ electromagnets are available, providing field strengths to above 3 T. While variable gap magnets allow for easy reconfiguration of the magnet gap to accommodate large samples of up to 1″.

ICE Box™: Integrated Control Electronics from Vescent Photonics
Vescent Photonics has introduced ICE, a compact suite of digitally controlled electronics that will precisely drive and stabilise a broad range of semiconductor lasers and associated photonics tools.
The ICE system is based on the same high-performance D2 Series electronics that have established Vescent Photonics as the leader in laser control and stabilisation. It is fully compatible with all Vescent D2 modules and can be used to drive and control a complete stabilised-laser system; overseeing frequency and temperature, offset lock DBR, DFB, or External Cavity lasers.
Each ICE control board is commanded via a USB Virtual Communication Port programmed in a language such as LabVIEW™, MATLAB™, Python, Java, et al. An intuitive GUI can also be used to issue commands and control the experiment or, if installed in the ‘ICE Box’- a chassis that provides power and interface connections – a front-panel control is included.
For more information about this new product, or any other from Vescent Photonics, please contact us.
Materials science: New MicroMag™ catalogue from Lake Shore
Lake Shore’s range of materials characterisation systems were complemented earlier this year by the company’s acquisition of Princeton Measurements Corporation and its range of MicroMag™ magnetometers.
Consequently, a new Lake Shore MicroMag™ catalogue has just been released to add to the two existing publications covering products for advanced materials research. The three downloadable catalogues now encompass:
- Hall Effect Measurement Systems (HMS)
- Vibrating Sample Magnetometers (VSM)
- MicroMag™ Alternating Gradient Magnetometer (AGM) and VSM
Lake Shore has grown to become a leading provider of the sensors, instruments, and systems that materials researchers increasingly rely upon for exploring and developing new magnetic, electronic, electro-optic, and related materials.
Contact us for the best advice on choosing the right system for your research.
New Probe Stations catalogue from Lake Shore now in stock
Lake Shore has released a new printed catalogue covering their expanded range of cryogenic/cryogen-free and vacuum micro-manipulated Probe Stations for testing the electronic and magneto-transport properties of chips, wafers, and packaged devices.
The 10 systems covered feature variable temperature operation, from 1.6 K to 675 K depending on model, and can accommodate up 4″ wafers with up to 6 probes, again depending on model chosen.
Probes are available for use with signals ranging from DC to 67 GHz, and a combination of both low and high frequency probes can be supplied with a single system.
Additionally, these systems can be configured with horizontal or vertical field superconducting magnets, high-resolution microscopes, and CCD cameras for precision positioning of the probe tips on the wafer or device under test.
Full specifications can be found in the downloadable catalogue, or contact us for more information.
