Best microtome on the market for Ultramicrotomy.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area: TEM processing and microtomy

"We chose to buy the Leica UC7 Ultramictrome because we had heard great things about the instrument from other labs. Sure enough, this particular ultramicrotome is the best on the market. It is especially user friendly with a great operating system. You can even choose how advanced you want the program to be. We especially appreciate the ease of use, application, and installation of samples. The lighting system is excellent and allows the user to see all areas around the sample blocks."

"This machine is simply spectacular. The optics on the binoculars make it very easy to use for long periods with no eye strain. It is very ergonomically designed with a simple layout that works. The section thickness is always consistent and it makes the task much faster with less sample wastage and better accuracy. While it is more expensive than other ultramicrotomes, the features are by far worth the extra. All in all, I am very pleased with this Leica UC7."

For Perfect Sectioning at Room Temperature and Cryo

The Ultramicrotome Leica EM UC7 provides easy preparation of semi- and ultrathin sections as well as perfect, smooth surfaces of biological and industrial samples for TEM, SEM, AFM and LM examination. Combining ergonomic design and innovative technology the Ultramicrotome Leica EM UC7 sets new standards in Ultramicrotomy. It offers a range of outstanding features and benefits of use for the ultramicrotomist, whether highly skilled or absolute beginners.

Expand your EM UC7 Ultramicrotome with the EM FC7 cryochamber to a state-of-the-art cryo sectioning system in just a few minutes. Samples mounted in the EM FC7 cryochamber allow for preparation of ultrathin cryo-sections at temperatures between -15°C and -185°C. After collection, sections are used for high-quality cryo-TEM (transmission electron microscopy), cryo-SEM (scanning electron microscopy), AFM (atomic force microscopy), and LM (light microscopy) applications. A variety of samples ranging from frozen biological material to polymers and rubbers can be easily sectioned with the utmost precision in only a few simple steps.
