The LS Heat option is a combination open liquid cell and heater that is compatible with the LS AFM. In operation, the liquid cell replaces the glass slide holder in the LS AFM.
The LS-Heat sample stage includes metal tubing for inputting liquid into the cell, a thermister for measuring the liquid's temperature, a glass slide, and two heating elements.

Included with this option is a TC-324C heater controller from Warner Instruments.
Features of the Heater Controller are:
Slow ramped DC power for quiet operation
Temperature control from ambient to +65C
Manually controlled DC output choices
Three feedback loop speeds
Independent bath temperature monitoring
External input for computer control
Open thermistor fault protection
Low noise toroidal transformer power supply
The LS Heat option use the Dunk and Scan Z probe holder that is a standard accessory for the LS AFM.
