Prepare high-quality ultra- or semi-thin sections for your transmission electron or light microscope investigation whilst simultaneously creating perfectly smooth block face surfaces for atomic force, scanning electron, or incident light microscopy. For ultrathin cryo- sections or surfacing of cryogenic material, you can equip your EM UC7 ultramicrotome with the EM FC7 low-temperature sectioning system within minutes.
Benefits
Obtain applicable, reproducible results by preparing high-quality consistent ultrathin sections with a thickness feed range from 1 nm to 15 µm
Benefit from an optimal knife approach to the sample, even at low water levels, with our patented eucentric movement
Avoid unnecessary loss of sample material thanks to the optimal positioning of the optical head with outstanding LED illumination giving superior visibility of the knife edge and block face
Save valuable time with the fully motorized knife stage featuring North-South and East-West movement using the autotrim mode and measuring function.
Prepare consistent, thin sections with ease
Access all sectioning parameters easily with the ergonomic touchscreen control unit of the EM UC7 ultramicrotome. Quickly adjust feed, cutting speed, and illumination parameters during the sectioning process on the main screen of the unit. The control wheels help you to set the East-West and North-South movement of the knife stage accurately, making the knife approach to the sample block easy and fast. Prepare perfect block faces with the auto-trim function, thus, ensuring consistent parallel edges of the attained sections.
