Sectioning biological and industrial materials specimens for optical microscopy
|
The histo knife is designed for the sectioning of hard and soft biological and material research specimens, non embedded or embedded in acrylic or epoxy resins (O. L. Reymond, Bas. Appl. Histochem. 30, pp. 487 – 494, 1986).
Our histo knives can be used on all ultramicrotomes as well as on microtomes with a retraction of the specimen arm in the return phase.
