histo JumboFor 3D reconstruction it is imperative not to loose a single section (M. J. F. Blumer et al., Journal of Neuroscience Methods 120, pp. 11 – 16, 2002).The large Jumbo boat as well as the adhesive (Pattex compact by Henkel) applied to the upper side of the sample block increase the distinct advantages of our histo knives. They allow:

These 45° knives have a large boat to allow easy production of section ribbons with no loss or folding.
The knives are suitable for room temperature sectioning of large histology specimens, producing easy to collect ribbons with all sections in the same orientation. Multiple ribbons can be put on one glass slide, ideal for immunohistochemistry and 3-D reconstruction.
Available with edge lengths of 6.0 and 8.0mm.
Cutting range: 0.2 - 5µm
