Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides comprehensive information on advanced microscopy sample preparation solutions, specifically focusing on the CryoSyStem and SMARTTOME products. These systems are designed for precision and ease of use across various microscopy techniques such as TEM, SEM, AFM, TOFMS, LM, and CEMOVIS.
Key Features:
  • Touch Screen Interface: A large, intuitive touch screen interface simplifies operation and allows for easy monitoring and control of the sectioning process.
  • Video Monitoring: An optional video package with a USB camera enables real-time monitoring, reducing physical strain and allowing for remote observation.
  • Hybrid Control System: Combines digital tactile controls with a touch screen for enhanced precision and user experience.
  • Lighting and Visualization: Superior lighting systems with LED backlighting and specimen transillumination improve visibility and accuracy during sectioning.
Specifications:
  • Sectioning Capabilities: Autothin sectioning from 5 nm and autothick sectioning up to 15 microns.
  • Cutting Speed: Ranges from 0.1 to 100 mm/sec, with variable return speed selection.
  • Data Recording: Integrated database functions record sectioning statistics, including section number, thickness, and knife usage.
  • Ergonomic Design: Features such as built-in hand rests and a compact design enhance user comfort and efficiency.
Additional Products:
  • Glass Knife Maker: GKM2 for controlled breaks and sharp knife production.
  • High Pressure Freezer: HPM 010 for reliable specimen freezing without cryoprotectants.
  • Freeze Substitution System: FS-8500 for specimen processing with internal illumination and specimen agitation.
Accessories and Options: Various optional accessories are listed, including specimen holders, cryo trimming tools, and stereomicroscope components, to enhance the functionality and versatility of the systems.
Conclusion: The document highlights the innovative design and advanced features of the CryoSyStem and SMARTTOME products, emphasizing their precision, ease of use, and adaptability for various microscopy applications.
Specifications: The document compares different models of RMC Ultramicrotomes, highlighting unique features such as cutting speed ranging from 0.1 to 99.9 mm/sec, cutting stroke from 0.1 to 15 mm, and memory channels varying from 4 to 5. Some models feature an automated trim function and a 1.3 Mb USB camera.
Procedures and Controls: The SmartTome™ Hybrid Control System offers a touch screen and tactile controller for convenient operation. Full PC control is available with an integrated 21.5˝ touch screen LCD monitor. Ergonomic stereomicroscope holders and unique “scan & tilt” controls enhance usability.
Features and Benefits: Features include a bright overhead LED array for accurate section thickness assessment, a high precision micrometer-driven knife stage for safe specimen approach, and dual foot switch control for hands-free operation. Built-in calibration and service diagnostics simplify maintenance.
Recommendations: The document suggests using memory channels for preset and stored sectioning parameters and highlights the benefits of power-driven cutting strokes for handling large blocks and hard specimens.
