Most Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a vibration microtome used for?
Ans. A vibration microtome is used to cut thin sections of soft tissues, such as brain or spinal cord samples, while preserving cell structure for microscopic analysis.
2. How does a vibration microtome work?
Ans. It uses a vibrating blade to gently slice through soft or delicate samples, reducing mechanical stress and preventing damage to the tissue.
3. What types of tissues can be sectioned with a vibration microtome?
Ans. It is commonly used for slicing brain, spinal cord, lung, and other soft tissues for electrophysiology, fluorescence imaging, and histology.
4. Can a vibration microtome cut frozen tissues?
Ans. Yes, but it is primarily designed for fresh or fixed soft tissues. For frozen samples, a cryostat microtome is usually preferred.
5. What factors affect the quality of sections in a vibration microtome?
Ans. Blade sharpness, vibration frequency, cutting speed, and tissue embedding quality all influence section thickness and smoothness.
