Ultramicrotome PowerTome XL

"

For the Preparation of Thin Sections for Electron Microscopy.

Smooth…

We designed a new cutting engine with exemptional levels of precision tolerence. This design reduces ‘play’ between the parts of the engine to a minimum, virtually eliminating section chatter and susceptibility to external vibration.

Powerful…

These are the only ultramicrotomes with the patented Power Drive© technology. When gravity fails, the powered cutting stroke has enough strength to cut through even hard, inhomogeneous specimens.

Smooth and… Precise!

  • Patented Power Drive® technology
  • High precision arc segment holder with ranges from 0-45° or +/- 22.5° with self-locking controls
  • Smooth, precise knife stage micrometer drives with marked increments of 0.5 and 5.0 microns
  • Digital approach with user selectable increments, for novice and advanced users alike.

Advanced features for ultramicrotomy

  • Section counter, Feed totalizer :Section counting and feed totals are useful to those doing 3D reconstruction or calculating cell thicknesses or distance into cell structures.
  • 10um Automatic Sectioning Thickness :If your work involves thick plastic sections for LM, Confocal, FTIR then 10um automatic section thickness is very important. The operator can do multiples of 10um thickness with a touch of a button as well.
  • RS232 port :The RS232 port is available for those who want to address data logging or computer interfacing.
