title: High resolution cold stage for the JEOL 100B and 100C electron microscopes.
abstract: A high resolution, liquid nitrogen-cooled specimen stage has been designed and constructed for use on the JEOL 100B and 100C electron-microscopes. This stage will be useful for imaging biological macromolecular arrays in the frozen-hydrated or glucose-embedded states at low temperature. Images thus obtained should have an increased signal-to-noise ratio due to the radiation damage protection offered by low temperature.
