Cryogenic sample stage for the Cameca IMS‐3f ion microscope

A simple and inexpensive cold stage developed for use with the Cameca IMS‐3f ion microscope is described. It is easy to use, and temperatures near to that of liquid nitrogen are obtained. Data are presented showing the first analysis of frozen hydrated biological samples with the ion microscope.
