Method and Evaluation for Minimization of Mechanical Effects of Impact Velocity for the Optimization of Freezing Quality of Metal Mirror Impact Freezers
The device/method:ΓÇóEnables quantification of potential mechanical deformationsΓÇóSignificantly minimizes pre-cooling effects as observed with conventional techniquesΓÇóAccurately measures the distance travelled by a sample before contacting the mirror surfaceΓÇóSignificantly improves the quality and reproducibility of the sample freezing process as compared to prior-art proceduresΓÇóEffectively modulates the approach and the contact velocity of the sample to match profiles of minimal sample distortionΓÇóSecurely controls the approach of the sample to the cooled metal mirror as compared to conventional techniquesΓÇóWould be commercially useful for a wide range of EM applications such as observations of biological and inorganic specimens and their corresponding quality control/failure analysis
