Application Area: Slicing Frozen Brains
"The microtome works great, but there are several issues with the glue to hold the brain in place while slicing. It would be great if Leica could come up with a solution."

"A lot of options are available on this equipment with the possibility to adapt different systems and samples on the same machine for increased efficiency. It is possible to perform different sample preparations on the same sample."

Application Area:Sectioning of biological samples
"The chamber is smaller than other cryomicrotome systems but the liquid nitrogen flow allows sectioning at very low temperatures, e.g. -70. The blade and sample holder temperature are controlled separately. There are several options of blades and sample holders compatible with the system. The cryo chamber is easily dismounted to perform room temperature sectioning down to 250nm and the sample clamps and holder provide much more degrees of freedom for angle of cutting and sample sizes."
