The Semi-automated Ultramicrotome
A semi-automated ultramicrotome provides for critical sectioning of embedded specimen. The microtome can be used manually for initial block preparation and thick-sectioning (greater than or equal to 1 micron) and then can be used in fully automated mode for hands-free, critical thin sectioning (less than or equal to 600 angstroms). Diamond knives are available for critical sectioning to provide the highest quality sections.
