Abstract
A cryogenic refrigeration system for cooling specimen, wherein an expander having one or more heat stations and a cooler at a main refrigeration circuit, which has a specimen mounting unit and is cooled at a temperature lower than the heat station, are housed in first and second vacuum chambers separate from each other, and at the second vacuum chamber is provided an open-close lid which is open to enable a specimen to be taken in or out, whereby the second vacuum chamber only is broken of its vacuum so as to enable the specimen to be exchanged.
