1. Method for preparing a sample on a support structure (20), wherein
the sample is provided as a thin film having a film thickness on a support structure (20);
the temperature of the support structure (20) is adjusted to a value above the dew point temperature of the environment, such that the film thickness decreases;
light is directed at the support structure (20);
at least one intensity value of the light transmitted by the support structure (20) is measured;
the support structure (20) is automatically inserted into a liquid cryogen (80) dependent on the at least one measured intensity value, such that the sample is cooled down to an amorphous solid.
