Cold Light Source Model 7000-2-1


To facilitate the careful slicing operation, it is most important that the progress of the blade through the tissue be clearly observed. This observation is used to ensure control of


the speed of advance and of the oscillation of the blade. Two elements are required for clear observation, light and magnification.


Product Features


• Ability to direct the light where needed with two flexible fiber optic light guides.


• Maintains temperature stability of the tissue or surrounding a.c.s.f.


• Light Intensity is adjustable by a rotary dial knob.


• 20W/12V Halogen lamp • 2000 hour life approx.


• Vibrating Microtomes with Magnifier


• Fan and electronic power supply • Adjustable with potentiometer


• Twin 500mm fiber optic light guides


Integrally Mounted Magnifying Glass Model 7000-1-3


For general global slices a magnifying glass offering approximately 2x magnification is sufficient. However, if specific loci are under study then an inspection microscope is desirable. The binocular inspection microscope with 10x-40x magnification, a zoom of 1x-4x and a working distance of 80mm is ideal for the task.


Product Features


• 115mm Diameter • 305mm Focal Length


• 2x Magnification
