4 no French Gasselin Microtome Blades in Box

A microtome is a precision scientific instrument that uses a sharp blade to cut extremely thin sections of a material, typically tissue, allowing for examination under a microscope. These sections, known as slices or ribbons, are crucial in histology, pathology, and material science for disease diagnosis, research, and quality control. Microtomes can be manual or automatic, with different models designed for various materials, including paraffin-embedded, frozen, and plastic-embedded tissues.
