The low-profile unit has a removable rectangular glass basin set into a gray painted steel housing, with LED illumination from the side of the basin to make floating sections easy to see against the water surface.

Published specifications for the XH-1003 give adjustable heating from ambient to approximately 75 degrees C with roughly +/-1 degree C control. The nameplate on the rear of the unit reads 110 V, 60 Hz, 500 watts, single phase, and lists Model No. 28156-B with Serial No. 28156-B-S005. The unit is shown on a laboratory bench with its glass basin in place and partly filled, and a slide/section pick-up hook resting in the basin.
