Vibrating Microtome

The Campden 5000mz-2 very competitively priced, high precision, vibrating microtome. Tissue sectioning is made easy for the expert and beginner alike with a z-axis deflection of only 1-2 microns, and a blade advance controllable to 10 microns/sec. Sectioning for visual patching of neurological tissue, heart, and lung have all been published on the previous generation of Integraslice machine from which the 5000mz-2 represents a significant advance in higher precision AND lower cost.

A completely new design of vibrating mechanism, with near silent operation and wider amplitude and speed ranges, gives the 5000mz-2 much higher performance whilst keeping close to the low cost of the Vibroslice and lower than the Integraslice which it replaces.

The user interface is also completely new and extremely easy, there is no foot switch like previous models, slicing begins at the touch of a button and a menu enables the setting of your own preferences. Cooling is by either an ice-water bath or an electronically controlled thermo-electric cooler. Other options include the cold light and magnifier or scope for clear observation whilst slicing.
