Cryo Ultramicrotome.

Description

The Leica EM UC7 Ultramicrotome equipped with the Leica EM FC7 provides advanced sectioning capabilities for both room temperature and cryogenic applications. The system enables preparation of ultra-thin and semi-thin sections suitable for electron microscopy, light microscopy, and atomic force microscopy, ensuring high precision and reproducibility across diverse research workflows.

Capabilities

  • Wide Cutting Speed Range
    Adjustable cutting speeds from 0.05 to 100 mm/sec to accommodate delicate ultra-thin sectioning as well as rapid trimming procedures.
  • Precision Knife Control
    360° rotatable knife block with ±30° graduation for accurate angular alignment and optimized section quality.
  • Motorized Knife Stage
    Enables smooth, controlled positioning for enhanced operational accuracy and repeatability.
  • Auto-Trim Functionality
    Automated trimming improves efficiency and reduces manual intervention during sample preparation.
  • Integrated Ionizer Control
    Built-in intensity control for EM CRION ionizer minimizes static charging, improving section handling and quality.
  • Integrated Optical Observation
    Magnification range from 9.6x to 77x supports precise monitoring during trimming and sectioning.
  • Ultra-Precise Feed Control
    Standard feed range from 1 nm to 15,000 nm in 1 nm increments allows automatic ultra-thin and semi-thin sectioning with nanometer accuracy.
  • High-Definition Imaging
    Equipped with the HD1080A Microscope Camera for clear documentation and real-time monitoring of sectioning processes.
  • Advanced Cryo-Sectioning Capability
    The Leica EM FC7 provides a temperature range from -15°C to -185°C, enabling high-quality cryo-section preparation.
