The top of the range high precision vibrating microtome.
Description
This is the finest tissue slicer in the world for preparations for visual patch clamping or high resolution imaging. The 7000smz series Vibrating microtome has been the instrument of choice for many labs for 10 years – over 450 labs and counting! Using our microtomes, research detailing tissue slicing for visual patching of neurological tissue, heart, lung, and tissue scaffolds have all been published. The 7000smz-2 microtome represents significant advances with higher precision at a lower cost.
