25. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF THE DIRECTIONAL CRYOMICROSCOPE

26. CONCLUSIONS • An integrated, feedback controlled directional cryomicroscope system was developed. • IIF temperatures of oyster eggs and embryos were determined using the cryomicroscope system. The IIF process of oyster embryos and eggs was found to be both time and temperature dependent. • The median IIF temperature of embryos and eggs were determined to be -22.5oC and -21.0oC, respectively. The transition temperature zone of IIF appeared to be broader for embryos than that of eggs. • The IIF data were further analyzed with a stochastic model and the kinetic parameters were determined.
