High-Resolution Episcopic Microscopy (HREM) using the HistoCore NANOCUT R Rotary Microtome by Leica Biosystems
This white paper highlights how performing automated sections using the Leica HistoCore NANOCUT R microtome led to increased reproducibility of key parameters, like the cutting surface and precise positioning of the block, leading to perfect alignment of the sections, and enhanced quality of 3D reconstructions.
Cryosectioning 101 For Research
John Stock Senior Technical Support Specialist, Leica Biosystems
Processing multiple specimens and performing serial cuts can result in high section numbers. Nevertheless, reproducibility can't be compromised. Permanent attention to detail and many hours in front of the cryostat can be exhausting for the user.
