The specimen-freezer microscope intended for cryogenic research has been developed to such an extent that its results are used for frozen foods.
Specimens cooled with liquid nitrogen can be examined with visual clarity even at a temperature as low as -100°C. The process of ice formation can be observed throughout refrigeration, irrespectial of quick or slow cooling which affects frozen pattern figures of specimens.
Hot and cold ends are provided inside the compartment which serves as a thermal bridge to keep the specimen in a half frozen state, both solid and liquid co-existing in the same viewfield.
