Consistent, Thin Plant Sections for Microscopy and Research

Plant tissue sectioning is essential for microscopy studies, allowing researchers to examine cellular structures across a wide range of plant materials, including leaves, stems, roots, and seeds. Thin, undamaged plant sections are critical for ensuring that each tissue component can be studied in detail.

 
Precisionary Instruments’ vibratome and rotary microtome are designed to consistently produce clean, thin sections from all types of plant matter. These tools provide researchers with the precision necessary for high-resolution imaging and further processing in microscopy and molecular biology research.
