Polaron Critical Point Dryer

Bulk biological specimen (along with hydrated materials) must be dried rapidly, without introducing artifacts, before they can be imaged in a scanning electron microscope.
The Polaron Critical Point Dryer is the most efficient instrument for quickly drying specimens without the shrinking or cracking that accompanies other methods.
