SOME NONCONVENTIONAL DEVICES WITH TEMPERATURE CONTROL - DESIGN AND APPLICATION

The development of a temperature control system based on semiconductor thermobatteries has been used in a set of devices for studying the ma rtensitic transformation. The devices range from a simple stage for an optical microscope to a more elaborated system as a differential scan ning calorimeter [1]. Here the attention is placed in this last system . The general problems of the temperature scanning calorimetry are rev iewed from the signal theory point of view and the solutions applied t o our system discussed. Some measurements are shown as an example of i ts application.
