Reichert-Jung Ultracut E Microtome
Ultracut E microtome is designed for extremely precise cutting, and achieves consistent high quality ultra thin sections for electron microscopy, or semi-thin sections for light microscopy. It features a continuous feed range from 0 to 2.5,?m and has adjustable cutting speeds of 0.1 to 50 mm/sec. Comes with a control box with power cord, a microtome sectioning unit, and a microscope assembly with AO Stereostar 570 zoom body (0.7X - 4.2X) with attached 10X eyepieces. It has a 6V, 10W halogen illumination system. [Product Link]
