Discover New Breakthroughs with an Enhanced Level of Precision and Versatility
When your microtomy involves diverse samples in order to discover new breakthroughs in your research projects, then NANOCUT R is the optimal solution for you. The new generation of microtomes from Leica Biosystems is built upon our 145+ year heritage of market-leading microtome design. From biomedical research to industrial applications, NANOCUT R can cut virtually anything you put in front of it.
Cut sections that can be prepared for analysis in light microscopy and electron microscopy - down to 250nm (0.25µm, semi-thin).
Preserve sample integrity when performing semi-thin sectioning with the Special Spindle and expanded Slow Speed Adjustment.
Precisely stop the sample in the object head’s optimal position for photo-capture of the cut sample surface when running 3-dimensional reconstruction programs.*
Precise and Consistent Semi-Thin Sectioning
Avoid destruction of samples with the Special Spindle and expanded Slow Speed Adjustment capabilities which allow you to produce consistent semi-thin sections down to 250nm.
Tackle the Toughest Materials with a Wide Range of Accessories
Leverage a wide range of accessories available to the NANOCUT R, including holders for disposable steel and tungsten carbide blades, reusable knives, and a special holder for glass and diamond knives.
3D Reconstruction Stacking Technique
Precisely stop the sample in the object head's optimal position for photo-capture of the cut sample surface when running 3-dimensional reconstruction programs.
