PowerTome XL    PowerDrive cutting stroke for large blocks and hard materials.  Overhead LED array for epi-iillumination, LED backlight for approach of the knife to the specimen, and LED transillumination spotlight.  High stability mechanical advance system.  Dual footswitch control with trim function.

PowerTome PC   Hybrid control system with touch-screen monitor and digital tactile controller.  High definition video monitoring system with built-in measuring capability.  Record and save video clips and still images.  Built-in report generator, database and diagnostic routines.  High stability mechanical advance system.

The PT3D   Features a full 1mm of advance, permitting uninterrupted ultrathin sectioning to a depth of
1mm.  This is especially beneficial for 3D reconstruction work, array tomography and other applications where a large number of sections must be collected.

ATUMtome   Automatic tape collecting ultramicrotome for array tomography, 3-D reconstruction and correlative workflow.  Collect hundreds to thousands of sections onto a tape substrate for later analysis and SEM imaging.

GKM-2 Glass Knifemaker   Micrometer positioners for precise scoring and final breaking of glass
strips.  Digital readout of applied load for consistent and controlled breaking.  Produces knives from glass up to 12 mm thick.

 LN Ultra    Cryosectioning system for ultramicrotomy of biological and material science applications.  Advanced design cryochamber, ultra stable, +35° C to -180° C.  Multiple knife holders for glass and diamond knives and trimming tools.

QG 3100 Automatic TEM Grid Stainer
Closed system excludes air for reproducible staining and operator safety.  Low operating cost.  Individual staining procedures are easily programmed.  Stain multiple grids using precisely the same times and reagents.

EMP 5160 Automated Tissue Processor
Carousel processor with 20 reagent vial stations.  Sealed vials for operator protection and to control evaporation of solvents.  Fifty programs can be stored in memory, each program with up to 55 steps.  Program key for safe and secure operation.  High capacity with up to 48 specimens in multi-compartment baskets.

Rotary Microtomes   A full line of microtomes is available to suit any microtomy situation, from the manual (semi-motorized) MR2 and the motorized MR3 to the fully motorized precision MT 990 microtome

CRT 900 Cryosectioning System   Designed to easily install on RMC Boeckeler’s rotary microtomes.  Generates cryosections for light microscopy, FTIR microspectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and other material science applications
