Type T Ultra Fine IT-Series Flexible Microprobe

Description

The Type T Ultra Fine IT-Series Flexible Microprobe from Physitemp Instruments is a precision temperature sensor designed for demanding applications requiring minimal tissue disruption and high spatial resolution. Its defining characteristic is an exceptionally fine, flexible probe tip, constructed using insulated thermocouple wire. This design allows for precise placement in delicate biological tissues, small organs, or confined spaces where traditional, rigid probes would be impractical or cause damage. As part of the IT-Series, this microprobe utilizes Type T (Copper-Constantan) thermocouple construction, known for its excellent accuracy and stability in a wide range of biological and laboratory temperature measurements. The "Ultra Fine" designation indicates a probe tip diameter significantly smaller than standard models, minimizing thermal mass for rapid response times and reducing the physical impact on the measurement site. The flexible lead provides strain relief and facilitates routing in complex experimental setups. This probe is typically interfaced with a compatible thermocouple meter or controller for data acquisition and display. It is suited for specialized research applications in physiology, neurobiology, entomology, and materials science where pinpoint temperature monitoring of tiny, sensitive, or hard-to-reach locations is critical.
