Abstract
A controller is described that enables the establishment of sample temperature as a function of time or some other experimental variable. It is well suited for electrically heated samples such as those used in low energy electron diffraction (LEED) experiments. The system is simple, easy to construct, inexpensive, and reliable. The LEED pattern is blanked synchronously with the heating current, allowing pattern observation during heating. This feature alone permits many previously impossible experiments to be performed.
