Traditional cryogenic sample stages typically consist of a main stage body, cooling lines, heating elements, and temperature sensors. Although cooling lines use low-temperature resistant materials such as PTFE, they still face significant technical limitations under cryogenic conditions:

The main limitations of traditional technology include:
Deterioration of Mechanical Properties: Low temperatures cause pipeline materials to harden and become brittle, losing bending flexibility;

Limited Degrees of Freedom: The fixed endpoints of cooling lines restrict rotational freedom, with effective rotation angles typically limited to less than 10°;
Signal Transmission Constraints: Wires for heating elements and temperature sensors become tangled during continuous rotation, further limiting the range of motion;

Low Observation Efficiency: Fixed-angle observation modes cannot meet the requirements for specific research angles, significantly reducing experimental efficiency.
