Description
Topping up one of our bath cryostats with liquid nitrogen while the morning sun shines in through the lab's windows.

I have a posted a pic like this before, but such a view never gets boring. Funny fact: These silicone hoses are rather flexible, as one would expect, and would just hang down and get kinked shut if left to their own devices. But if you hold them in the desired position when you start the filling process, the liquid gas will quickly render them completely hard, allowing them to stay in the position you want them to be in. Neat!
