Abstract
Following discussion of the structure and properties of liquid water, we need now to consider the ways by which water molecules may link together into the apparently more stable and solid phase of ice. We are all familiar with the appearance and properties of ice, and for our everyday use of such things as ice cubes we have little concern about the structure of the material, the size of the crystals, or even the processes by which it is formed. But when we turn from the domestic use of ice to its use as a matrix in low-temperature microscopy and analysis, it will become quickly apparent that the structure and properties of the material assume a much greater significance.
