Advancing skin research depends on high-quality tissue samples, and a recent study (Ziolkowski et al. from Science Advances) is a great example of how innovative sectioning techniques can make a big difference. This team of researchers set out to better understand touch detection in skin tissue, and to do that, they needed clear, precise sections […]
Microtome, vibratome, vibrating microtome…you’ve heard so many different terms for this type of laboratory equipment. Let us help you clear up any confusions in terminology! Defining microtome vs vibratome A microtome is a device used to cut very thin slices of tissue, called sections, for examination under a microscope. It typically uses a sharp, stationary […]
