(Cryo-) Ultra-Microtomy
Strengths of the technique
- preparation of ultra- and semithin sections
- low temperature sectioning of biological and industrial samples at temperatures down to -190°C
- Used e.g. for preparation of samples for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM).
