Thermo Scientific Section Transfer System Microm STS
4-3
Sectioning and picking up sections
Set the desired section thickness and start
sectioning.
Detailed information on sectioning can be
found in part 4 of the instruction manuals of the
respective rotary microtome.
When the produced fine sections are evaluated
as high quality sections, close the transfer
bridge via the lever.
To detach a ribbon, use the lever to push the
detaching tongue upwards.
The sections glide on the transfer track down
into the water bath. After some time, the
sections can be picked up by a slide.
Always use a sharp blade. Moreover, the blade
must be free of paraffin.
The quality of the sections diminish (e.g. tissue
and paraffin of a section tear apart) if the water
temperature of the pump reservoir is too warm.
Replace the water of the pump reservoir.
