Freezing and freeze fixation are commonly used to achieve ultrastructural and biological preservation. Freezing in biological materials is complex because of their heterogeneous nature—water is unevenly distributed and the various domains are separated by semi‐permeable membranes. Processes to be considered include: (1) osmotic gradients leading to redistribution of water, (2) nucleation and uncontrolled growth of ice crystals, (3) recrystallization of nucleated aqueous substrate.
