Mr. Yong Zhong in our group today finishes the build of a home-made optical

microscope hot-stage. The hot-stage will be used with our newly bought

Olympus BX51 phase-contrast optical microscope

for polymer morphology observations.

We bought a decent temperature controller and are able to set up multiple thermal steps to control the sample temperatures including isothermal, heating and cooling et al.

Congrats, Mr. Zhong!

Nice Job, well done!
