Ice and its impurities from the perspectives of photochemistry and electron microscopy

Ice as a solid phase of water is an interesting but still not well understood medium. Our photochemical group utilized chemical and spectroscopic tools to acquire information relevant to the environmental and applied science. In the introduction I would like to stress some important facts on ice and frozen aqueous solutions stemmed from our work. Still opened question, that we are trying to answer by the ESEM, is where and at what forms are the impurities located after the freezing. The recently published results from the pilot collaboration with Dr. Neděla’s group will be detailed
