Compresstome® VF-310-0Z Vibrating Microtome (Tissue Slicer)

The new Compresstome® VF-310-0Z is a fully automated vibrating microtoms with Auto Zero-Z™ technology.  It can cut down to 1 µm precision, and cuts tissue thicknesses ranging from 4 µm to 1000 µm, at 1 µm intervals. Comes with one year warranty.  

This model is an update of the VF-300-0Z 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.

Auto Zero-ZT™ 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!
