The instrument is equipped with 24
freezing positions. The temperature
is approx. 10 °C lower than the
actual cryochamber temperature.
In order to prepare a specimen for
sectioning, place the specimen
holder on a freeze point, add some
drops of embedding medium
(e.g.GSV1) on the holder and
carefully press the object on top.
Wait until the object is frozen (mat
surface or pressure).

and activate the hand wheel stop.
2. Release the object holder fixation by
turning the fixation lever counter
clockwise.
3. Remove/Insert object holder.
4. Tighten the object holder by turning the
fixation lever clockwise.
The fixation lever is limited in the range of
