Abstract
Simple techniques and easily constructed equipment are described for a small cryogenics laboratory utilizing a commercial helium liquefier. Emphasis is placed on simplicity and availability rather than on high accuracy and efficiency in low-temperature work. Accessories for a Collins liquefier and a commercial liquid-helium storage container are described. Techniques used for reaching and measuring intermediate temperatures are outlined, along with a description of two portable cryostats. A small mica and Pyrex platinum resistance thermometer has been developed, and its relatively simple fabrication is described.
