SUMMARY Specifications are given for an inexpensive controlled temperature microscope stage which facilitates observation of living cells at temperatures down to 268 K. The design makes it possible to use an oiled 1.4 N.A. condenser thus allowing observation at high resolution and giving phase contrast and Nomarski interference contrast images of high quality.
