The New 5100mz shares the User interface with the premium 7000smz-2, placing a wide range of adjustable parameters at the user’s fingertips:
- Vibration frequency from 50 to 80 Hz
- Adjustable amplitude from 0.5mm to 1.5mm
- Fine control of the blade advance (min. 0.1 mm/sec)
- Set start and stop position of blade travel
- Control box on umbilical cord ideal for operation in an isolated environment
Use in fully manual or the semi-automated “Slice window” mode which automatically remembers the start and finish position of the slice. This New entry-level Microtome is perfect for techniques such as histology, organotypic slice culture and low resolution imaging with a fixed blade holder and a mechanism Z axis error of ≈ 5-8µm.
