Automated Tape collecting UltraMicrotome
RMC ATUMtome is a unique ultramicrotome for fully automated collection of sections directly on tape rolls. Originally developed at Harvard University in the lab of Jeff Lichtman it was designed for the collection of thousands of sections to reconstruct neuronal networks and pathways (Array Tomography). The RMC ATUMtome enables ultra-thin sections with a thickness down to 30nm to be collected automatically on 8mm wide Kapton tape for SEM imaging and subsequent 3-D reconstruction.
By automating the tedious process of collecting many serial sections, the ATUMtome is a unique tool for many areas of research in biology, pathology and material sciences where three-dimensional image data of specimens is required.
Read about the advantages of ATUMtome in the Microscopy and Analysis article (Webster, P. et al 2015) here
RMC PowerTome range of ultramicrotomes are designed for ultra-thin and semi-thin sectioning at ambient and low (cryo) temperatures.
