Summary

LOW TEMPERATURE TECHNIQUES COMBINED WITH ELECTRON MICROSCOPY CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS < ULTRASTRUCTURAL CRYOTECHNOLOGY >. FOR BIOLOGICAL OBJECTS THE MAIN GOAL IS TO PRESERVE THE (BIO)CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND THE MICROCOMPARTMENTATION IN CELLS AND IG FOR THIS, SPECIAL CRYOFIXATION METHODS ARE USED WHICH ARE VIRTUALLY ALL BASED ON EXTREMELY FASTCOOLING DOWN TO VERY LOW TEMPERATURES. THE OBJECTS ARE KEPT FROZEN DURING SUBSEQUENT PREPARATION STEPS, INCLUDING FINAL RESEARCH WITH THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE.
