The sample is irradiated by an infrared beam, rapidly heating it.
The beam direction can be set to any orientation in the X, Y, and Z-axes.
The beam only irradiates the sample, providing point heating that does not heat the surroundings.
Models enabling heating from a 100 V power outlet are available (GA154/GA198).
Point heating of quartz tube-mounted samples that are placed in a magnetic field or spinning
Point heating of test samples for tensile testing or thermal shock testing
