Page 16: Sectioning Of Specimens
Fig 7 Sectioning of Specimens Especially at high ambient temperatures, the lower specimen temperature generated by the Cool-Cut has very positive effects on the sectioning results. The active cooling of a paraffin specimen clamped in the specimen clamp allows thin sections of excellent quality without re-cooling the specimen. - Page 17 Changing to Conventional Specimen Clamps As an average, the Cool-Cut is 400 g heavier than a conventional specimen clamp. The counterweight increases the weight on the hand wheel accordingly. Resulting in a smooth run of the rotary microtome during the sectioning process with the Cool-Cut.
