5100-1-3

Integrally Mounted Cold Light Source and Magnifying Glass

A magnifying glass for general global slices offering approximately 1.5x magnification. Integral cold light powered directly via the Model 5100mz Vibrating Microtome

7550-1-C

Ceramic Blades - 5 Pack

Specialised Ceramic blades for Campden Vibratomes. These blades are honed with a single bevel for superior slicing, particularly in tissue from older animals. Ceramic Microtome blades also need to be replaced less frequently than Stainless Steel Microtome blades; meaning less frequent z-axis recalibration is required.

7470

Tissue Slice Recovery Chamber

The 7470 chamber was designed to hold and maintain tissue slices in six sub-chambers at physiological temperatures with an aeration supply to allow recovery from slicing as well as incubation during the experimental day (10-12 hrs).
