Microtome
Microtome capabilities
- < 50 nm ultrathin sectioning
- Touch screen control panel
- Stereo microscope for optimised positioning
- Motorised stage for glass or diamond knives
- 0.05 to 100 mm/sec cutting rate
Cryo capabilities:
- Standard liquid nitrogen temperature sample manipulation
- High gas flow: increased N2 gas flow reduces ice contamination below -140 °C
- Wet sectioning: to set a temperature difference of up to 130°C between knife (-40 °C) and specimen (-170 °C), which is useful for, e.g. DMSO applications
- < 10 % RH allows sections to be cut with minimised contamination by ice crystals
