Summary

THIS PAPER DESCRIBES AN APPARATUS THAT ALLOWS THE DECOMPOSITION OF ORGANIC MATERIALS BY A RADIO FREQUENCY EXCITED OXYGEN PLASMA AFTERGLOW AT TEMPERATURES AS LOW AS 203 K (-70 DEG C) PRIOR TO ANALYTICAL STUDY. THE USEFULNESS OF THIS TECHNIQUE IS DEMONSTRATED BY THE FREEZE-DRYING AND ASHING OF FROZEN-HYDRATED BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES. SUBSEQUENT ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THE CELL MORPHOLOGY SEEN IN TWO DIMENSIONS REMAINS INTACT AFTER SUCH TREATMENT.
