The 100mm Orange Cryostat was originally designed for use on the now decommissioned FCS instrument. This design included a 180o cadmium shield which has been removed to make the cryostat useful on a wider range of instruments. There is only one 100mm cryostat available at the NCNR and it is normally used to accommodate large samples or special setups.
