Description
High-quality sectioning of specimens for light, electron, and atomic force microscopy examination has never been easier and more precise. Leica Microsystems introduces its latest specimen preparation technology: the Leica EM UC7 ultramicrotome and the Leica EM FC7 cryo chamber attachment.
- In addition to the standard LED illumination for top light and backlight and transmitted light, the LED spot illumination offers a focused light beam to enhance observation, e.g., for cleaning the knife edge and during cryo-sectioning.
- The user can walk away from the instrument during trimming; the combination of the fully motorized knife stage and patented AutoTrim function completes and then stops the trim automatically.
- The ergonomic design provides comfortable, fatigue-free operation for left and right handed users.
- Excellent observation of the section at low water levels and during cryo sectioning, without compromising the user’s ergonomic posture.
- The stereo microscope offers higher magnification than ever before.
- Easy-to-learn, fast operation via touchscreen control,l and displayed hints.
- Data transfer for reporting user, specimen, knife, and storage parameters provides an electronic, paper-free log file.
- The operator recognition system makes it easy for multiple users to use the same instrument. Up to 100 different user/specimen/knife profiles can be set.
