Hot-stage microscopy is used to examine the thermal transitions, visually, on heating and cooling the sample when the sample is heated or cooled. In this technique you can observe the thermal transition occurring in a sample when it is heated or cooled which helps in understanding the physics of transition. The furnace with a heating element above and below the sample is an important part which helps in maintaining the temperature uniformity of sample throughout the measurement.
