Description

Devices are known for making sections of animal and plant tissues, consisting of preparations mounted on a base of a knife, a holder for preparations and a micro-feed mechanism.

3iH devices (microtomes) in many cases do not allow to obtain high-quality sections and require complex pretreatment of the preparation.

In the proposed device, in order to improve the quality of the cuts and simplify the pretreatment of the preparations, the microtome is equipped with a vibrator, the vibrations of which are transmitted to the knife.

The drawing shows schematically the described vibration

.Microtome.

A microtome consists of a massive bed / on which an oscillator is mounted (not shown), a vibration slider 2 with a knife 3 fixed on it, a holder for preparations 4 and a mesh receiver for sections 5. A microtome is provided with a portable microtome to cut the liquid. glass bath 6.

On the bed / there is a platform 7 for accommodating the zibrator and a platform 8, H; I of which is equipped with a bath b or 11 method: genes for making cuts in air.

The transmission of oscillatory movements from the generator to Iol 2 is performed by a hinge 9 and guides 10.

The raising of the knife 3 is carried out with the help of a knob rotating the 1-BLACK mechanism //.

The holder of the preparations 4 has a micrometric viit regulating the slice thickness (not indicated in the drawing) and clamp 12. Moving: pressing the drug in the plane of the cut is performed by the handle 13.

11 rdme e and 3 o b e e e “and

A vibrating microtome for the manufacture of sections of animal and plant tissue, consisting of drug holders and a micro feeder mounted on a massive knife base, different; By the fact that, in order to improve the quality of the cuts and simplify the preliminary treatment of the preparations, a vibrator is provided. oscillations of which are transmitted to the knife.
