Histocentre 3, Shandon |
|
used for embedding of routine tissue samples into paraffin blocks for microtome sectioning. |
|
Microm HM 550, Thermo Scientific |
|
A Peltier to -60°C and a cryochamber reaching -35°C ensure optimal sectioning temperatures. Stepper motor technology and an extra wide anti-roll plate facilitate consistent, artifact-free frozen sections. |
|
Microtome 860, Thermo Scientific |
|
a sectioning instrument that allows for the cutting of extremely thin slices of material, such as bone, wood, frozen celloidin, and paraffin preparations. |
|
Rotory Microtome, Shandon |
|
Simple but versatile rotary microtome for uniform sectioning up to 25 microns in step of 1 micron each. |
|
Spin Tissue STP-120, Thermo Scientific |
|
an efficient tissue processor with carousel system for embedding specimens in paraffin. |
