cryostat
Ultra-cold sample holder
A cryostat is an apparatus that maintains extremely low temperatures, typically using liquid helium or nitrogen.
The device keeps samples or instruments cold enough for experiments in physics, materials science, and medicine—superconducting magnets, for instance, require cryostats to function.
In pathology, a cryostat is a refrigerated chamber housing a microtome for cutting thin sections of frozen tissue: The lab technician prepared the biopsy in the cryostat.
