Vibrating Microtomes 5100mz-Plus
E5100MZ-Plus
The 5100-Plus is perfect for those who need to keep slices viable for longer, e.g. for electrophysiological field recordings. The user can calibrate the Z-axis deflection of the blade to 2µm with the adjustable blade holder and "optical" calibration device. Minimal Z-axis deflection reduces the "chatter" and minimizes damage to the slice surface, leading to greater viability of the cells on the slice surface.

Art.Nr: E7610-AThe 7610-A Tissue Bath Cooler Unit is intended for use with our 7000 and 5100 range of vibrating microtomes. Unfixed brain slices sectioned at 4°C give better tissue preservation and are viable for longer in-vitro recordings. Additionally, some enzyme histochemical techniques give better staining results when sectioned at low temperatures.

Art.Nr: E7000-1-3For general global slices, a magnifying glass offering approx 2x magnification is sufficient. However, if specific loci are under study then an inspection microscope is desirable. The binocular inspection microscope with 10x-40x magnification, a zoom of 1x-4x and a working distance of 80mm is ideal for the task.

Art.Nr: E7000-2-1To facilitate the careful slicing operation, it is important that the progress of the blade through the tissue is clearly observed. This observation is used to ensure control of the speed of advance and of the oscillation of the blade. Two elements are required for clear observation, light and magnification.
