ABSTRACT:
A cooling apparatus utilizing liquid nitrogen for cooling specimens to temperatures in the range from -100.degree. C. to -195.degree. C. in propane, halogenated hydrocarbons, isopentane, or other cooling media. Freezing of the cooling media is avoided by means of an arrangement wherein the liquid nitrogen cools the cooling-bath container and/or the liquifier only initially, but after the desired cooling-bath temperature has been reached, the liquid nitrogen level is lowered to below the height of a protective shell which results in further cooling being only indirect, via solid/solid contacts and via the gas phase. A constant cooling-bath temperature is ensured by means of a thermostatic temperature-control system while trouble-free standby operation is ensured by means of an automatic system for replenishing liquid nitrogen, and by a system for controlling the level of liquid nitrogen. Safe disposal of the cooling media which may be combustible and/or toxic is provided for.
