Cryostats have wide applications in the healthcare industry, such as MRI, frozen sectioning, exploratory surgeries, X-ray, and spectroscopy. In the fields of space and satellite field, cryostats are used for cooling various infrared sensors. In the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (...
Sections for staining and microscopy can be prepared immediately using a cryostat microtome. For research applications, particularly with the brain, the tissue is often fixed initially with a formaldehyde solution prior to freezing and cryostat sectioning. Small pieces of tissue are usually frozen in ...
