Cryo-transfer holders are used in applications that require low temperature transfer and observation of frozen hydrated specimens for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). With cryo TEM, solutions can be rapidly frozen and kept below sublimation temperatures to be observed under TEM. The morphology, size distribution of nano-objects can be analyzed with great resolution. The dispersiveness was also “frozen” in the process, allowing the studying of aggregation and agglomeration state much like the original liquid state. |
