What is Rotary Microtome?
A Rotary Microtome is a specialized laboratory instrument used in histology and pathology to cut extremely thin sections of biological tissues.
These thin slices are crucial for microscopic examination,allowing researchers and pathologists to study the structural details of cells and tissues with high precision.
How Thin Should the Tissue Sections Be?
⚫ For Tumor Tissue Diagnosis 3-5 μm - The standard thickness for tumor analysis, though it may vary depending on diagnostic needs.
⚫ For Plant Tissue Sectioning 10-20μm - Thicker sections are needed due to the harder plant cellwalls, ensuring tissue integrity during examination.
⚫ For General Pathological Diagnosis (Routine Staining) 3-5μm - Suitable for most routine tissue analysis, offering clear staining and microscopic observation.
⚫ For Electron Microscopy (EM) Examination 50-100μm - Ultra-thin sections allow for detailed cellular ultrastructure observation under an electron microscope.
⚫ For lmmunohistochemical (lHC) Staining 3-5μm - Helps improve antibody penetration and enhancesstaining quality.
