microtome

First, a thin section of the sample is cut, often using a microtome.

The saw microtome is especially for hard materials such as teeth or bones.

The vibrating microtome is usually used for difficult biological samples.

The laser microtome is an instrument for contact free slicing.

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

This is necessary in order to obtain soft sections of the bone using the microtome.

This is used to reduce the need for thin sectioning using instruments such as the microtome.

Microtome is a genus of moth in the family Geometridae.

The microtome of this type has a recessed rotating saw, which slices through the sample.

An early invention was the rocking microtome, an instrument which proved to be of great value in biological study.

Tissue is then sectioned in a freezing microtome or cryostat.

Once the plastic was hardened, he would scrape it away, and then flake off a small bit of green with a microtome.

The flywheel in newer models is often integrated inside the microtome casing.

Once frozen, the specimen on the chuck is mounted on the microtome.

Typical cut thickness achievable on a sledge microtome is between 1 and 60 m.

This instrument is a common microtome design.

Sections (5 m) were cut from the frozen biopsies on a cryostat microtome.

From there the blocks went to the embedding center, and on to the microtome where they were shaved into thin ribbons.

In a rotary microtome, the knife is typically fixed in a horizontal position.

The microtome blade method is used to determine the weight and molal concentration of an interface.

Then you use a gadget called a microtome, something like a miniature bacon-slicer, to cut off a series of very thin slices.

He proposed to develop a technique of microtome preparation which would make, not one, but several different slices through a rotifer's egg.

These microtomes have heavier blades and cannot cut as thin as a regular microtome.

Brains were cut on a sliding microtome at 30 μm in either horizontal or coronal planes.

A microtome was used, since it was an automatic cutter that worked on objects too small for hand-guided equipment.
