Large boat for serial sectioning
|
For 3D reconstruction it is imperative not to loose a single section (M. J. F. Blumer et al., Journal of Neuroscience Methods 120, pp. 11 – 16, 2002).
The large Jumbo boat as well as the adhesive (Pattex compact by Henkel) applied to the upper side of the sample block increase the distinct advantages of our histo knives.
They allow:
- easy production of section ribbons (0.5 – 2 μm)
- no section loss
- no folding
- the same orientation of all sections
- easy collection of section ribbons
- multiple ribbons on one glass slide
- perfect for immuno-histo-chemistry.
