Ultra Microtomy
LEICA – UC6-FC6
Ultra Cryo Microtomy allows us to prepare thin samples for TEM (lamellae). It is also used to prepare a flat and smooth surface for AFM mechanical imaging or ToF SIMS chemical imaging, when observation of bulk properties is needed : we hence work on a section.
It can be used at ambiant temperature, or in cryo mode for very soft samples.
Materials to be cut:
biological, polymers, soft metals
Antivibration table
Binocular lens MZ 6 (x8 – x51)
