Low-temperature microscopy and analysis is not the sole preserve of biologists and those interested in hydrated organic samples--although these types of samples present both the greatest challenge to the existing technologies and the only hope of solving the unresolved questions posed by such examples. The techniques and processes detailed here can be used to analyze the solid state of virtually all liquid and gaseous materials--radiation-sensitive and labile samples, hydrated organic systems, and phenomena that only exist at temperatures at which living processes stop.
