Abstract
Existing methods for defining cool-down rates of plant specimens quenched in cryogenic liquids are considered unsatisfactory. An analytical method is proposed for specifying the temperature history and cool-down rates at particular cell locations within a plant specimen. This method should provide realistic peak cool-down rates when examining cell structures and the survival rate of cell systems.Keywords
