The Leica VT1000 S Vibrating-Blade Microtome is a precision instrument designed for sectioning delicate or fixed biological tissues, as well as soft materials like plant roots or foam. Its vibrating razor-blade mechanism allows for smooth, high-quality slices under physiological buffer conditions, minimizing sample damage and preserving tissue integrity.
Key Highlights:
- Adjustable blade vibration frequency (0–100 Hz) and amplitude (0.2–1.0 mm) to optimize cutting for different tissue types.- Knife advancement speed finely tunable from 0.025 to 2.5 mm/s for controlled sectioning.
- Motorized vertical specimen stroke (15 mm), with programmable cutting window and specimen retraction to protect samples during return.
- Large-field 2× magnifier, ergonomic design, and electronically controlled sectioning parameters for user comfort and reproducibility.Show moreShow lessClick to Request More Info
