Microtome (by Slee)

The microtome is used to cut biological tissues into very thin sections, enabling detailed analysis of cell morphology and tissue organization. Its main applications include the preparation of histological slides, immunohistochemistry techniques, and sample preparation for optical or fluorescence microscopy. These sections, typically between 1 and 10 µm thick, are essential for studying scaffold integration, cell distribution, and extracellular matrix deposition in biological materials and architectures.
