Slice Viability Graph for Compresstome
Slices were prepared with rat brain aged from P18 to P30. (Courtesy of Drs. J.H. Ye and C.Xiao in Dept. Anesthesiology of UMDNJ)
Compresstome VF-300 Oscillo-Sliding Fully Automatic Microtome
The Compresstome Vf-300 microtome is the fully automated version of the VF-200. Its digital dial provides a much more precise thickness adjustment. It also provides a fully automated cutting environment that will allow you to continuously cut smooth and thin slices with the exact same thickness. The VF-300 is great for cutting large quantities of fresh slices for tissue culture or electrophysiology experiments.
