Abstract
A cryogenically efficient interface which enables the quick loading of completely configured Independent Measurement Inserts in a direction perpendicular to the temperature gradient of a cryogenic cooling source. An air lock and precooling means provide a method for loading independent measurement inserts directly into the cryostat vacuum without applying an undue initial or steady thermal load on the cooling source. A heat switch provides means for establishing variable thermal contact between the contoured independent measurement inserts and the cold stage of a cryogenic cooling source. There is a free selection in the cryogenic cooling source which may be used and also in the types of measurements which may be configured and loaded by the means of appropriately configured idependent measurement inserts. Loading of measurement inserts may be carried out in any direction. The experimental flexibility gained in the use of my invention is a benefit to scientists and engineers wishing to conveniently perform a diversity of different measurements at cryogenic temperatures.
