Mounted onto a suitable vacuum chamber port, the CoolLok consists of a loading chamber body with built-in controls for pumping, venting and transfer. A custom-designed interface flange to the vacuum chamber and connections and fittings to the pumping system are included (see: Pumping below). The interface has cold nitrogen gas feeds to and from the microscope cold stage and cold trap. Interlocking to the microscope is included.
