About This Product
The microtome is used in botany and biology practicals to teach basic sectioning technique. A soft specimen such as a plant stem, root or leaf is fixed securely in the holder or cavity, small or soft specimens can be supported with pith, and the specimen is advanced gently so that a small section stands above the cutting surface for cutting with the blade or razor. The thin sections are then used to prepare microscope slides.
