TPI Vibratome 1000 Tissue Sectioning System. The Vibratome 1000 Sectioning System provides a versatile means of sectioning fresh or fixed, animal or plant tissues. It employs a vibrating blade principle, which allows sectioning without freezing or embedding. The creation of artifacts, the alteration of morphology, the destruction of enzyme activities, and other deleterious effects inherent in freezing or embedding procedures are thus avoided. Input power: 10A, 110 V, 60 HZ. Overall dimensions: 1 ft. 6 in. L x 11 in. W x 11-1/2 in. H.(ACU65).
