Powertome XL ultramicrotome
High-stability ultramicrotome with flexible upgrade paths
The Powertome from RMC Boeckeler is a high-precision ultramicrotome with an advanced antivibration system. It features the unique PowerDrive, a high stability cutting arm drive system with zero backlash. With several specimen holders and knife stages, this system can be configured to suit individual preferences and research needs.
The basic model, the PT-XL, is controlled via a digital tactile controller and is suitable for routine work. From there, the system can be upgraded to a research level ultramicrotome with computer control and video options. Both models can be upgraded to allow for a 1mm uninterrupted sample advance, suitable for array tomography. The latest addition to the Powertome family is the PT-FL, with an ultramicrotome-mounted microscope that allows fluorescent signals to be located in the block during trimming and sectioning.
Key features
- Auto thick/thin sectioning from 5-4999nm with 4 memory storage channels
- Compact two piece design with advanced antivibration system
- Separate control unit for maximum flexibility and ease of use
- Built-in hand rests
- Modern one piece laminated cover
- PowerTome, high stability, zero backlash, cutting arm drive system
- High precision micrometer knife stage
- Ergonomic stereomicroscope system with constant radial focus eucentric tilt control
Configurations
- PTXL – with tactile controller, suitable for routine work
- PTPC – with touch screen monitor and digital tactile controller,
- PT3D – with 1 mm advance for uninterrupted sectioning, suitable for 3D reconstruction, array tomography and cryo sectioning
- PTFL – with fluorescent location system, capable of imaging fluorescent cells in the block during trimming and sectioning, suitable for correlative microscopy
Options
- Dual hand wheels – for multi-user labs or demanding applications, that require hands-on assistance while sectioning, this system frees up your leading hand for fine motor work while controlling sample advance with your other.
