Thinner sections |

Best structure preservation |
The patented ultra sonic knife allows
the cutting of ultrathin sections free of
compression (D. Studer et al., Journal
of Microscopy, Vol. 197, pp. 94 – 100,
2000).
With correct setting of frequency and
amplitude the sections become as long
as the height of the sample.
Best results are not only achieved with
biological samples, but also with polymers (J. S. Vastenhout et al., Microscopy
and Microanalysis 8, 2001. J. S. Vastenhout et al., Microscopy Today, pp. 20 – 21,
2006).
We have tested the ultra sonic knife with
the following samples:
| • |
Biological samples in Epon, Araldite, EM Bed, etc. |
| • |
Biological samples in acrylic resins (Lowicryl, LR White). |
| • |
Rigid polymers such as PS, PMMA, ABS, HIPS, modified PP, blends of various kind |
