The New 5100mz shares the User interface with the premium 7000smz-2, placing a wide range of adjustable parameters at the user’s fingertips:
Use in fully manual or the semi-automated "Slice window" mode which automatically remembers the start and finish position of the slice. This New entry-level Microtome is perfect for techniques such as histology, organotypic slice culture and low resolution imaging with a fixed blade holder and a mechanism Z axis error of ≈ 5-8µm.
Specialized Ceramic blades for Campden Vibrating Microtomes. These blades are honed with a single bevel for superior slicing.
Specialized Blade Technology for Campden Vibrating Microtomes.
Newly redesigned Bath Mount. Edge of the ice bath outer now has a rolled edge. Preventing vibration of the bath wall at certain harmonics of speed and amplitude, hence more stable, less splash, less evident vibration. Shown with standard and adjustable tissue mounts that can be ordered separately.
Temperature controlled cooling baths for the 7000smz-2, 5000mz-2, 5100-Plus and 5100mz vibrotomes with a controllable temperature range of approx +10ºC to 0ºC with accuracy of ± 1 ºC. For experiments where exact control of a low slicing temperature is required.
A magnifying glass for general global slices offering approximately 1.5x magnification. Integral cold light powered directly via the Model 5100mz Vibrating Microtome.
Optional kit to upgrade the 5100mz to the 5100mz-Plus. Allowing the user to optimally calibrate the Z-axis deflection of the blade to 2±0.1 µm.
