Abstract
Cryogenic analysis systems are provided that can include: at least one sample stage operatively aligned with at least one cooling source; at least one thermal link operationally coupled between the sample stage and the cooling source; and at least one link support between the cooling source and the sample stage, the link support engaging the thermal link. Methods for cooling a sample within a cryogenic analysis system are provided with at least some of the methods including: thermally connecting a cooling source to a sample stage supporting a sample via a thermal link; and supporting the thermal link between the cooling source and the sample stage.
