A microtome is a laboratory instrument used for the preparation of thin sections of biological specimens for microscopic examination. It is used to cut very thin slices of material, usually in the range of a few micrometers to a few hundred nanometers. The slices are then mounted on a microscope slide for examination. The microtome is an essential tool for histology and pathology laboratories, as well as for research in the field of biology and biochemistry.
There are several manufacturers of microtome equipment, including Leica, Reichert-Jung, and Sakura. Prices for microtomes range from a few hundred dollars for basic models to several thousand dollars for more advanced models. The cost of the microtome will depend on the features and capabilities of the model. Some models may include additional features such as a motorized cutting head, a digital display, or a computer-controlled cutting system. The more advanced models may also include additional accessories such as a cryostat, a microtome knife, or a microtome holder.
