Details

The New 5100mz shares the User interface with the premium 7000smz-2, placing a wide range of adjustable parameters at the user’s fingertips:

  • Vibration frequency from 50 to 80 Hz
  • Adjustable amplitude from 0.5mm to 1.5mm
  • Fine control of the blade advance (min. 0.1 mm/sec)
  • Set start and stop position of blade travel
  • Control box on umbilical cord ideal for operation in an isolated environment

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.

Optional Accessories

Bath Mount for Vibrating Microtomes
Bath Mount for Vibrating Microtomes
Model 7000-3-1A

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 Standard Tissue Bath
Temperature Controlled Standard Tissue Bath
Model 7610A

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.

Rectangular Tissue Mount
Rectangular Tissue Mount
Model 7000-4-3A

Rectangular specimen mount for dual specimen

Integrally Mounted Cold Light Source and Magnifying Glass
Integrally Mounted Cold Light Source and Magnifying Glass
Model 5100-1-3

A magnifying glass for general global slices offering approximately 1.5x magnification. Integral cold light powered directly via the Model 5100mz Vibrating Microtome.

Upgrade Kit for 5100mz
Upgrade Kit for 5100mz
Model 5100-1-45

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.
