Instruments - RMC PT-X Ultramicrotome
The RMC PT-X is a microprocessor-controlled ultramicrotome that provides exceptional accuracy and reproducibility of thin and thick sections for TEM, along with a high degree of operating control and ease of use. It has a two piece construction with the sectioning unit and controls separated, four sectioning channels, each with its own programmable button for section thickness, arm rests for convenient and safe support of the operator's hands for precision manipulation of sections, and a fully adjustable stereomicroscope and overhead fluorescent lamp to adjust for differing resin requirements and water levels. In addition, it features a high precision arc segment holder which ranges from 0-45° or +/- 22.5°, precise knife stage micrometer drives with marked increments of 0.5 and 5.0 microns, and a digital approach with user selectable increments that is useful to novice and advanced users alike.
