A modified freeze direct imaging of a viscous surfactant mesophase method. A chamber is provided having controlled temperature and solvent partial pressure. The chamber has two copper planchettes at the top and bottom thereof. A sample is placed in the chamber on a grid and is squeezed between the planchettes into a thin film. The thin film is placed in a liquid to vitrify the sample. The sample is removed from the planchettes to fracture the sample. The sample is then placed on a cold stage; and imaged.
