    Diamond HeaterThermometer (DHT)
    DHTIS THE ONLY TOOL WHICH COMBINESTEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT AND THERMAL STIMULATIONIN A SINGLE PARTICLE
    An elegant solution consisting of a glass capillary and a single diamondcrystal, DHT allows one to reliably induce desired level of ultra-local heating andprecisely measure temperature changes at the nanoscale.
    Thermosensitive silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers in diamond enable purelyoptical temperature readout in the near-infrared range. No bulky electric circuitsneeded.
    Unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution allows you to implementsarbitrary thermal protocols and apply them to a variety of solid-state and biologicalsystems, from ion channels to multicellular organoids.
    Main features
    PERFORM STABLE AND RELIABLE MEASUREMENTS
    Thanks to the properties of diamond, the DHThas infinite photo stability and is insensitive to the effects of the environment (PH, magnetic orelectricfield), makingyour temperature measurements fully reliable.
    WORK IN THE BIOLOGICAL TRANSPARENT WINDOW
    The fluorescenceof the siv-centers lies in thenear-infrared,soyoucan use the DHT with any sensitive biological samples.
    CONTROL THE FASTEST PROCESSES
    DHT allows you to define custom ultra fast temperature protocols, with millisecond steps in the detection mode and microsecond for the heating.
    CHOOSE OPTIMAL DIAMONDS
    wide range of diamond particle sizes available, from 50nm upto hundreds of microns.


    core technology
    TheDHT technology is base dona single engineered diamond micro or nano particle place don the tipo fa pulled glass pipette. This diamond particle has two main features:
    1. It contains atomic defects in its crystalline lattice called silicon vacancy(siv)color centers, which act as quantum sensors and enable all optical fluorescencebased thermometry.
    2. It possesses amorphous carbon at its intercrystalline boundaries,making it an efficient light absorber and effectively turning it into an ultra-local nanoscale heat source.

    Example applications
