5100mz Vibratome
Model 5100mz
The 5100mz is a very competitively priced, high precision, vibrating microtome (vibrotome for short) which shares many features with the top of the range 7000smz series, such as the vibrating mechanism, the inner and outer tissue baths and the easy to use control system.
The New 5100mz shares the User interface with the premium 7000smz-2, placing a wide range of adjustable parameters at the user’s fingertips:
- Vibration frequency from 50 to 80 Hz
- Adjustable amplitude from 0.5mm to 1.5mm
- Fine control of the blade advance (min. 0.1 mm/sec)
- Set start and stop position of blade travel
- Control box on umbilical cord ideal for operation in an isolated environment
Use in fully manual or the semi-automated "Slice window" mode which automatically remembers the start and finish position of the slice. This New entry-level Microtome is perfect for techniques such as histology, organotypic slice culture and low resolution imaging with a fixed blade holder and a mechanism Z axis error of ≈ 5-8µm.
