Simple Hand Microtome Set with Slides. Our economy hand held microtome, bundled with 72 plain glass slides and 100 coverslips, for your convenience. This simple microtome is used to cut thin tissue sections to prepare slides for microscope viewing, and includes the required slides and cover glasses for simple specimen mounting. A critical tool in the biology classroom as well as histology labs for introductory work.
The microtome consists of a fine threaded piston which screws into a stage for sectioning. The advancing of the piston is uncalibrated. The knurled head at the bottom of the instrument moves the piston up or down the central tube when rotated. The specimen is fixed on the flat top of the piston and sections are cut by drawing the included blade over the upper flat surface of the instrument.
FEATURES:
(Wax or other medium for securing specimen in the tube may be desired, but is not included.)
Ages 13+ with adult supervision.
Works well - holds and pushes samples in wax securely for cutting. Forget the included knife, use a utility scraper with a straight edge blade instead.
