A 33-cps resistance thermometer bridge, suitable for precise temperature measurements in the liquid helium range, has been designed as a completely self- contained unit. The amplifier has a gain of 120 db, band width of 0.3 cps, and input impedance of 10 kohms. With a power dissipation of 2 x 10/sup -8/ watts in the thermometer, resistance changes of 0.1 ohm can be detected. For a typical resistance thermometer this corresponds to a temperature change of 4 x 10/sup -6/ deg K at 2 deg K. Other features include high rejection of line-frequency pickup, short recovery time after saturation, and a combination gain bandwidth control which shortens the response time during preliminary balancing operations.
