SUMMARY An easily constructed heating stage has been designed for a Cambridge Scientific Instruments' Stereoscan Scanning Electron Microscope. This heating stage is capable of reaching temperatures of at least 1273 K. The stage is a simple design which can easily be built from non‐magnetic stainless steel and a natural stone consisting mainly of pyrophyllite. All heat shielding is made from these materials without the need for any liquid coolant surrounding the stage. The use of this heating stage as an instrument for the study of morphological changes during heating processes up to 1273 K is described briefly.
