Campden - Model 5100mz -Advanced Microtome for Precision Tissue Sectioning
The 5100mz Vibrotome by Campden Instruments represents a sophisticated tool for precision tissue sectioning, suitable for applications such as histology, organotypic slice culture, and imaging tasks. Operating with a vibration frequency adjustable between 50 to 80 Hz, it offers fine control over the blade advance, maintaining a minimum increment of 0.1 mm/sec for meticulous sectioning. The device allows the user to set precise start and stop positions for blade travel, and its remote controls facilitate sterile operation in culture hoods. A detachable ice water bath ensures easy cleaning, while optional features like a cold light and magnifier enhance the visualization of tissue sections. Moreover, the 5100mz integrates seamlessly with advanced parameters shared with the premium 7000smz-2 series, while its Peltier-cooled bath is optional for maintaining specific temperatures. Designed with a focus on ease of use, this entry-level microtome is equipped with a sturdy fixed blade holder and exhibits a mechanism Z-axis error of around 5-8 micrometers, making it apt for researchers in technical fields seeking accuracy and reliability.Most popular related searches
