Jacquie,

Leica makes a really nice benchtop unit, the CM1100.  

Advantages: small, compact, good temperature stability, can run from DC 
voltages as well (e.g., battery supply), easily portable (it's a breeze to load it 
on a cart and move to other locations).  

Disadvantages: limited working/storage space inside, and temp control is best 
when the chamber door can be kept closed most of the time.  So it's not a 
good choice for Mohs or other techniques where you need to keep lots of chucks 
and specimens frozen or where you need to work with the door open for long 
periods of time.

Leica Customer Service from outside the USA: 847-405-0123

Cheers,

Bob Chiovetti
