This environmental chamber is used to keep physically large samples at a well-controlled temperature between room temperature and ∼100◦ C. A constant flow of nitrogen gas passes over twoAheater elements to warm the sample mounted inside the chamber. A A sliding door provides easy access to the sample mount. It can be used on Kowari by mounting it on the load frame P-2. Otherwise, it can be mounted on a base which fits the sample stage of Echidna, Sika, Taipan and Wombat.
