Analysis of polarized-light effects in glass-promoting solutions with applications to cryopreservation and organ banking
Fig 1
Schematic illustration of the scanning cryomacroscope setup incorporating polarized-light means.
Via an integrated graphical user interface, independent computerized means (not shown) are used to control the scanning mechanism of the cryomacroscope, to streamline images from the CCD camera, and to log temperature data from strategically located sensors. The cooling chamber is independently controlled by a commercial programmable controller. A more detailed setup is presented in [30].
