Compresstome® VF-210-0Z Vibrating Microtome (Tissue Slicer)

The Compresstome® VF-210-0Z is a semi-automated vibrating microtome for sectioning fixed and live tissues, down to 10 µm precision. This model comes with Auto Zero-Z™ technology, which removes Z-axis deflection by calibration during the manufacturing process. This means you never have to calibrate the slicer, and there is no shearing of tissue surfaces during sectioning. Comes with one-year warranty. 

This model  is an update of the VF-200-0Z with improved buffer tray and blade holder designs that make the instrument easier to use. Additionally, the control box is attached to the main body of the instrument, making it more portable.
