A Vibrating Microtome is a specialized cutting instrument used for sectioning soft and delicate biological specimens with minimal distortion. It employs ultrasonic or mechanical vibrations to assist in tissue sectioning, reducing compression and damage to the specimen during cutting. Vibrating microtomes offer adjustable cutting parameters, specimen stabilization systems, and ergonomic designs for gentle and precise sectioning of tissues. Key specifications include:

• Vibration frequency: Adjustable vibration settings for controlling cutting forces and optimizing section quality
• Section thickness range: Cutting settings typically ranging from a few micrometers to several hundred micrometers for various tissue types
• Specimen stabilization: Clamping or mounting systems to secure tissue specimens and minimize movement during sectioning
• Cutting mechanism: Vibrating blade or knife oscillation with manual or motorized drive systems for consistent and uniform sectioning
• Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of soft tissues, including brain, liver, and muscle, as well as plant materials and polymers
