 small image & large image--SPARO cryostat in March 1998 before installation of detectors and optics. This picture shows the 4He reservoir (A), 3He charcoal punmps for inner (detector) and outer (guard) 3He stages (B), pumping line for 1.5 K pumped pot (C), inner stage 3He pot (D), outer stage 3He pot (E), part of the heatswitch for 3He pots (F), heat switch for charcoal pumps (G), and 0.005" i.d. capillary tube connecting 1.5 K pumped pot to 4 K 4He reservoir (H).

 small image & large image--Photo of SPARO showing, primarily, the "pumped pot fixture," the fixture used for switching between pumping on the pumped pot and flushing the capillary with back-pressure. Green-handled valve is used to connect pumped pot to UHP Helium gas; black-handled valve is used to connect pumped pot to mechanical pump. Photo also shows the large preamp boxes on either side, attached to which are the small laboratory JFET breakout boxes (one is aluminum, the other is painted blue).
