The external circulating water source can be stored in a water tank, or it can be a water source with a water temperature set according to the temperature change. It can be set according to methods known in the art, which will not be repeated here. The specific ambient temperature requirements in the dark box 10 are set according to the experimental requirements, and the water temperature passed by the circulation coil 63 is adjusted according to the temperature requirements to achieve reliable temperature regulation.
