Frozen hydrated rat renal kidney cortex (slightly etched)

If the specimen is warmed to a temperature at which sublimation of water occurs, subsurface information about the specimen may be obtained. In this case the surface was warmed to –80oC for four minutes . Comparison with the previous image demonstrates the value of etching improving the amount and quality of information from the specimen surface.
