laser microtome

The laser microtome has the ability to slice almost every tissue in its native state.

The laser microtome is an instrument for contact free slicing.

The laser microtome is an instrument used for non-contact sectioning of biological tissues or materials.

A recent development is the laser microtome, which cuts the target specimen with a femtosecond laser instead of a mechanical knife.

In the laser microtome the laser-microdissection of internal areas in tissues, cellular structures, and other types of small features is also possible.

In contrast to mechanically working microtomes, the laser microtome does not require sample preparation techniques such as freezing, dehydration or embedding.

PRK does not create a permanent flap in the deeper corneal layers, while LASIK involves a mechanical microtome using a metal blade or a femtosecond laser microtome to create a 'flap' out of the outer cornea.
