Description
Nederlands: Schematische weergave van het onderste gedeelte van de cryostaat waarmee Kamerlingh Onnes in 1921 het kouderecord op 0.83 Kelvin bracht. In het buitenste dewarvat zit vloeibare lucht, in het middelste vloeibare waterstof en in het binnenste vloeibaar helium met daarin de glazen constructie binnen welke via afpompen tot zeer lage druk het kouderecord gevestigd werd. Om het warmtelek zoveel mogelijk te beperken diende een omgekeerd dubbelwandig glazen kapje, gevuld met helium - een kunststukje van glasblazer Kesselring. Het helium in de binnenste dubbelwandige beker en dat daar direct buiten ‘communiceerden’ razendsnel met elkaar via een (naar later bleek) tegen de wand opkruipende film, met als gevolg dat beide vloeistofniveaus steeds even hoog kwamen te staan.

English: Schematic representation of the lower part of the cryostat with which Kamerlingh Onnes brought the colder record to 0.83 Kelvin in 1921. The outer dewar vessel contains liquid air, the middle liquid hydrogen and the inner liquid helium containing the glass structure inside which the colder record was established via pumping to very low pressure. In order to limit the heat leak as much as possible, an inverted double-walled glass cap, filled with helium, served as a piece of art by glassblower Kesselring. The helium in the inner double-walled cup and that directly outside it "communicated" with each other at lightning speed via a film (which turned out to be) that crept against the wall, with the result that both liquid levels were always at the same level.
