Electron Microscopy Sciences Offers New High Precision Tissue Slicers

Electron Microscopy Sciences has added the EMS7000smz and EMS5000mz high precision vibrating microtomes to their product line for microscopy and histology. Designed to produce the highest quality slices of the most difficult material, the EMS vibrating microtomes minimize damage to tissue surfaces and produce slices of uniform thickness.

The competitively priced EMS5000mz offers a Z-axis deflection of 1-2 microns and a blade advance controllable to 10 microns /sec. The EMS7000smz delivers perfect sections with sub-micron Z axis deflection across a broad range of vibration speeds and amplitudes and enhanced longevity of performance through an advanced vibrating mechanism. It is the finest slicer in the world for preparations for visual patch clamping. Both tissue slicers offer simple operation at the push of a button or a range of changeable and programmable parameters customizable to user preferences.
Tissue cooling is accomplished by the use of either an ice-water bath or an electronically controlled thermo-electric cooler. Other options include mountable LED cold lights, magnifiers, and inspection microscopes.
