9. Improvements on Old Setup

10. Better Measurements

11. Cooling Narrowed down viable options No liquid neon: too expensive and hard to get Cryocoolers are too small Try dual dewar system: liquid He and liquid N2

12. Additional Cooling Possibilities Coolant Boiling Point Helium 4.2 K Neon 27 K Argon 87 K

13. Cooling: Liquid Neon

14. Cooling: Cryocooler http://www-airs.jpl.nasa.gov/images/cryocooler.jpg
