Le cryodécapage consiste à congeler très rapidement le matériel à étudier, généralement dans l'azote ou l'hélium liquide. Une fois congelé, l'objet est placé sous vide et découpé, une légère cryodessiccation décape la surface et dégage certaines structures, qui apparaissent en relief. 2, record 1, French, - cryod%C3%A9capage

Le cryodécapage(...) : En effet, dans ce procédé, le matériel biologique se trouve fixé grâce à l'application d’une très basse température et le dessèchement se fait ultérieurement par sublimation de la glace "amorphe" ainsi formée, en maintenant à la fois cette basse température et un vide poussé pendant une durée suffisante. 2, record 2, French, - appareil%20de%20cryod%C3%A9capage
