I have used down to -30 a few times for research samples, mainly to try and
get stuff to cut better rather than that is what was requested. Everything
gets very brittle at that temperature, including your hands after a short
while.
Never -60 though!
Maybe that is just for the peltier freezing mec
Thank you Paul.

Cryo-electron microscopy cuts thin sections at temperatures colder than that.
It is used to preserve antigenicity in certain situations.
However, a cryostat is not used. An ultramicrotome fitted with specific cryo
attachments is used.

Can anyone tell me why research labs often require cryostat cutting head
temperatures down to -60C?
