Histology

This microtome is used to section tissue that has been fixed and embedded in either paraffin or resin. This type of sectioning is required when maintaining proper morphology of the tissue is critical. The microtome will enable to cut sections 0.5um to 100um in thickness. The sections are needed for small tissue including, but not limited to sectioning of zebrafish embryo. The ability to also do larger sections will make this useful for mouse brain slices and others.
