    help cure, because cold bodies perform functions slower (Kavaler 16- 17). Measurement of temperature is extremely important in cryogenics and the temperatures must be exact. The standard for scientific temperature measurement is the Kelvin scale. On the Kelvin scale absolute zero has a value of zero degrees on the thermometer. In theory no substance can be lowered to or below zero degrees Kelvin or absolute zero. Temperatures in cryobiology range from zero degrees Celsius--water freezes--to just above

    particular meter. For example, assume that the dc voltage scale on a particular multimeter is rated at ± 3% of full scale. This means that a reading on the 10V scale is accurate to (± 0.03%)(10) = ± 0.3V. Thus, a reading of 9V on the10V scale indicates a true voltage, which lies between 8.7 and 9.3 V. A reading of 1V on the scale would indicate a true voltage between 0.7 and 1.3 V. At this point, the error is ± 30%! Any reading less than 10% of full scale should be viewed with suspicion since most meters
