Introduction to Rotary Microtome Parts and Functions What is Rotary Microtome： Paraffin sectioning is the most common histological technique applied in preparing tissue sections. Its application is not only limited to the observation of the form and structure of normal cells, but it is also the major pathological and forensic scientific method used for studying, observing and determining the changes in the form of cellular tissues. It is also widely used in other fields of scientific research. As for rotary microtome, it is a common assistive instrument used in pathology for paraffin embedding. Who needs it? ●Clinical departments/laboratories:clinical laboratory, pathology, dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology, obstetrics and gynecology, oncology, other specialized hospitals, etc. ●Third-party pathology diagnostic centers, third-party clinical laboratories ●Colleges and biological research centers ●Morphology teaching labs & third-party services corporations ●Cro (contract research organization) & pharmaceutical companies ●Single-cell genome sequencing corporations or companies providing similar services Rotary Microtome Main Applications ●For observing the morphological structure of normal cellular tissues of plants and animals ●For studying, observing and determining the morphological changes of cellular tissues ●For immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, genome sequ
