Developed at Harvard University’s Lichtman Lab, the Automated Tape Collecting Ultramicrotome (ATUMTome) automates the section collecting process, improving work flow for imaging.
The ATUMtome can produce many thousands of serial sections, unattended and uninterrupted, without the need for resetting the specimen arm, thanks to the million nanometer feed of the PowerTome 3D (PT3D) .
It ships as a complete, ready-to-use system with the Powertome 3D, ATUM, all accessories, anti-vibration table, & chair.
