Our Compresstome® tissue slicers and rotary microtomes have been developed and used extensively in plant research. In fact, there is even a simple published guide to use for cutting plant slices. Download this guide below:
In this book chapter publication by Drs. Mohamed M. Mira, Edward C. Yeung, and Claudio Stasolla, the team describes a simple guide to use for cutting plant slices with the Compresstome® for research. Here, they summarize how to use the Compresstome® vibrating microtome to embed a plant sample. They are able to cut thin fresh plant tissue slices, which are then placed onto a glass slide for further experimental treatments. They are able to then visualize proteins as GFP signals in samples like corn roots.
