Vibrating microtomes
This new entry level microtome is perfect for techniques such as histology, organotype slice culture and low resolution imaging with a fixed blade holder and a mechanism Z-axis error rate of 5-8?m. The 5100mz-Plus and 5100mz are very competitively priced high precision units with a Z-axis deflection of only 1-2 microns and a blade advance controllable to 10 microns/sec. On all units the section thickness step size is 0.001mm. The 7000smz-2 and 5100mz-Plus are supplied with their own Z-axis calibration verifier.
Model 5100mz -Â Vibrating Microtome, includes demountable tissue bath and sample blades in stainless steel and ceramic. 115V or 220V
Model 5100mz-Plus -Â Vibrating Microtome, includes demountable tissue bath and sample blades in stainless steel and ceramic. 115V or 220V
Model 7000smz-2 -Â Programmable Vibrating Microtome, includes demountable tissue bath and sample blades in stainless steel and ceramic, plus 'Opti-Cal' z-axis calibration device. 115V or 230V
