Abstract

SUMMARYWe have developed three instruments to freeze different biological specimens for various purposes in the easiest and most economical way: a punching device, a rapid immersion device and a device to freeze the specimens against a copper block cooled by liquid helium. Cooling rate measurements are made by a thin flat thermocouple. Freezing against a copper block cooled down to 4 K gives cooling rates 3–5 times higher than freezing by immersion into propane at 85 K.
