Features & Benefits

• Collects hundreds to thousands of sections on a continuous tape
• Non-destructive to sample, with sections available for years into the future for processing, post-staining, immunogold labeling, correlative imaging — and at any work pace desired.
• Section thickness usually range from 30nm to 5,000nm, with thinner sections possible.
• Determines sample viability sooner in the process so you don’t waste valuable time cutting and imaging a problem sample.
• Uses multiple resolutions for locating regions of interest, then zooming in for higher resolution imaging
• Allows correlative microscopy for localization and then ultra-structural imaging
• Prepares samples that allow short pixel dwell time for fast detection of images during electron microscopy
• Uses standard sample preparation techniques and resins
• Charging effect on sections is manageable
• Priced at a fraction of the cost of alternative 3-D imaging techniques
