Advantages of Rotary Microtome

Heavier than rocking microtome = Increases stability during cutting No vibration while cutting = Ensures precision in sectioning Cutting angle of the knife is adjustable = Allows for flexibility in cutting technique Can be used for cutting hard tissues = Enables dissection of robust specimens

Movable knife holder = Improves ease of use Ability to cut accurate sections at 3mm = Facilitates detailed analysis Electrically driven microtome = Suitable for creating ribbon sections Used with resin embedded tissues = Enhances compatibility with various materials

Manual microtome = Offers user control for precise cuts Electrically driven rotary microtome = Ideal for high-speed and consistent sectioning Cryostat microtome = Used for frozen sectioning Rocking microtome = Less stable than rotary alternatives

<p>Can produce ribbons for serial reactions = Supports detailed tissue analysis Cuts good accurate sections = Provides high-quality results Copious with very hard tissues = Versatile for challenging specimens Employed effectively with resin embedded tissues = Optimizes processing of various samples</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Limited block size = The size of the block that can be cut is limited. Vibration during cutting = It is a righter microtome, so it vibrates while cutting. Fixed cutting angle = The cutting angle of the knife cannot be adjusted. Curved sections = The sections cut curved when the block moves through an arc.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Limited cutting capability = No serial section is possible. Vibrations affect precision = It is a righter microtome, so it vibrates while cutting. Inflexible slicing = The cutting angle of the knife cannot be adjusted. Deformed samples = The sections cut curved when the block moves through an arc.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Limited block size = Restricts the size of samples. Vibration = May compromise the uniformity of cuts. Fixed angle = Limits versatility during slicing. Curved sections = Results in distorted preparations.</p> Signup and view all the answers
