Frequently Asked Questions
1 What is a Manual Microtome?
A Manual Microtome is an apparatus designed for slicing extremely thin sections of specimens for microscopic examination.
2 How does Manual Microtome work?
It works by manually advancing a specimen block toward a sharp blade using a handwheel mechanism, allowing precise sectioning at controlled thicknesses.
3 What safety precautions should be taken while using Manual Microtome?
Safety precautions include using blade guards, wearing cut-resistant gloves, and always positioning hands away from the blade path.
4 What materials can be sectioned using Manual Microtome?
It is used to section biological tissues, paraffin blocks, resins, and certain polymers depending on the blade and preparation.
5 Can Manual Microtome be used in both research and clinical labs?
It is suitable for both research and clinical laboratories, particularly for routine histopathological examinations.
6 Is Manual Microtome suitable for forensic investigations?
It is suitable for forensic investigations to section tissue samples for toxicological analysis and injury pattern studies.
7 What role does Manual Microtome play in cancer research?
In cancer research, it helps produce consistent tissue slices for immunohistochemistry, allowing scientists to analyze tumor morphology and marker expression.
8 How does Manual Microtome contribute to pharmaceutical testing?
It is used in pharmaceutical testing to slice drug-treated tissue samples for histological evaluation of therapeutic effects and potential toxicities.
9 Can Manual Microtome be used in neuroscience research?
It is used in neuroscience research to prepare thin sections of brain tissue, which are then stained and studied for structural and cellular changes.
10 How does Manual Microtome help in microbiological studies?
In microbiological studies, it can be used to section biofilms or tissue samples infected with microbes to study host-pathogen interactions.
