Will the Compresstome Work for my Experiments? How do you determine if the Compresstome vibrating microtome will work for your experiments? Take a look at our References! At Precisionary Instruments, we understand that purchasing a new tissue slicer or vibrating microtome is a critical decision. While we work to support you and inform you of […]
During your experiments, have you wanted to take images of each slice before they are cut? We now have a block-face imaging camera system for the Compresstome vibrating microtome that capture slice-by-slice images as you make tissue sections. Shown above are mouse brain slices being cut, with individual images taken after each slice. Working in […]
We started in 2004 with the very first Compresstome® vibrating microtome. More than a decade later, we bring you our newest member of the Compresstome® vibrating microtome family: The VF-310-0Z! Learning from YOU, our customers! In developing our newest model, we’ve learned a lot by listening directly from our customers. Over those years we’ve been […]
Difficulties of Slicing Older Animal Brains Younger rodent brains are much softer and easier to slice because these brains are not heavily myelinated. With older rodent brains, the amount of myelination makes tissue slicing difficult. Together with labs at the Allen Institute, we have developed the Compresstome to be successful at cutting brains from mature […]
