Abstract
In a device () for rapid pressure-freezing an aqueous sample (), such as a biological specimen, a pressurized cooling medium can be fed into a high-pressure chamber () into which a sample holder () containing a sample () is inserted and which is sealed with a pressure-tight seal, to the location of the sample holder () held therein. The high-pressure chamber () comprises a viewing window structure () with a pressure-tight window (), through which light can be directed from the outside onto the sample () located in the sample holder (). The window () can comprise a transparent window element made of a high-pressure-resistant material, wherein the window element () is held by a pressure- and temperature-resistant window bearing provided in the high-pressure chamber.
