Examining, analyzing and/or processing an object using an object receiving container

An apparatus for processing an object, comprising:

• at least one processing device for processing the object;
• at least one cooling device for cooling the object to cryo-temperatures;
• and
• either at least one object receiving container arranged at the cooling device or at least one object holding system arranged at the cooling device,
• wherein the at least one object receiving container is for receiving at least one object, which is examinable, analyzable and/or processable at cryo-temperatures, and comprises:
• at least one first container unit;
• at least one cavity for receiving the object, wherein the cavity is arranged at the first container unit;
• at least one second container unit, which is embodied to be movable relative to the first container unit, wherein the second container unit is able to be brought into a first position and/or into a second position relative to the first container unit, wherein the second container unit in the second position covers the cavity arranged at the first container unit, wherein the second container unit is configured to be moved into either the first position or the second position by gravity;
• and
• at least one fastening device which is arranged at the first container unit or at the second container unit for arranging the object receiving container at a holding device, and wherein the at least one object holding system comprises:
• the at least one object receiving container, and
