Abstract
The “universal” cryostat and “the best” cryostat are utopic terms. The literature contains a very large number of papers describing cryostats. No attempt will be made to review them all, which are extremely numerous and varied. Besides, many of them are only specific for other types of applications; indeed most are too specialized, since their function as thermostats has been unnecessarily confused with the requirements of a specific experiment mounted in them. This is largely unnecessary in many cases.

Notes
- 1.
Of course, the experiment must be provided with an efficient thermal anchoring, made more difficult, at these temperatures, by the Kapitza boundary resistance.
- 2.
In order to reduce heat transmitted by radiation, may even take advantage, today, of the radioactive properties of the new high T c superconductors (Zeller 1990; Pavese 1995).
- 3.
A similar solution has been used by Van Degrift in his miniature gas thermometer (see Sect. 3.3.3) for maintaining the reference vacuum in his resonator pressure transducer .
