✦ Synopsis

materials and thereby open up new areas of applica-A new ultrasensitive differential scanning calorimetion. This paper describes the design and performance ter is described, having a number of novel features of a new commercial differential scanning calorimeter arising from integration between hardware and soft-(DSC) 2 (1) which has higher sensitivity than previous ware. It is capable of high performance in either a instruments of its type. The enhanced performance rescanning or isothermal mode of operation. Upscansults not only from details of the calorimetric hardware ning is carried out adiabatically while downscanning itself, but also from a greater level of involvement of is nonadiabatic. By using software-controlled signals software in various aspects of instrument operation sent continuously to appropriate hardware devices, it and control.
