To facilitate the careful slicing operation, it is most important that the progress of the blade through the tissue be clearly observed. This observation is used to ensure control of the speed of advance and of the oscillation of the blade. Two elements are required for clear observation, light and magnification.
The predecessor of the 9000SMZ, this was the finest tissue slicer in the world for preparations for visual patch clamping (second only to the 9000SMZ). Shown with optional Slice incubation chamber and temperature controller.
