AGRI-4-10-Ultra microtom
The ultra microtome is an advanced device used to prepare ultra-thin sections of samples, primarily for electron microscopy. Using an exceptionally sharp blade, typically made of diamond or glass, it can cut samples into slices ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers thick, allowing an electron beam to pass through and reveal high-resolution structural details. Samples such as cells, tissues, polymers, and other solid materials are fixed and embedded in resin before being precisely sliced. The sections are then collected onto microscopic grids and examined using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to uncover intricate structures of both biological and industrial materials.
