The Lecia EM UC7 cryogenic ultramicrotome allows for ultra-thin sectioning of resin-embedded, room temperature samples or cryo-immobilized samples.
This instrument uses a diamond knife to slice ultrathin (normal thickness range from 50nm to 250nm) sections of samples for observation in the TEM.
The FC7 cryo-chamber attachment allows for the preparation of materials that are too soft to be cut at room temperature, such as biological and soft polymers, at temperatures ranging from -15°C to 185°C.
