New and Refurbished Microtomes

Microtomes cut very thin slices of specimens to create sections. Each section ranges from 0.1 to 100 microns thick, allowing light to penetrate them for study under a microscope. The microtome ensures researchers get uniform samples quicker than manual methods.

Difference Between Automated, Rotary and Sliding Microtomes

Mercedes Scientific has three types of microtomes available:

  • Automated: An automatic microtome allows histology labs to prepare samples faster and more uniformly. The motorized feed can prepare samples from hard, thick specimens.
  • Rotary: Manual, or rotary, microtomes have a fixed blade and a moving sample holder. When the user rotates the handwheel, the sample holder moves toward the blade. These units are best for applications needing extremely thin sections.
  • Sliding: Sliding microtomes have a fixed sample holder and a blade on a slide. The blade is slid to the sample and passes through it for cutting. This type is best for regulating the blade pressure and cutting large sections.
