Brief description:
The Leica EM FC6 is the low temperature sectioning system for the Leica Ultracut UC6 ultramicrotome. It is used for semi- and ultrathin cryosectioning of biological and industrial samples. This includes Frozen Hydrated Sectioning (FHS) of vitrified specimens, cryoprotected biological samples (Tokuyasu technique) and soft industrial specimens such as rubbers and polymers.
The Leica EM FC6 has an integrated chamber illumination, allows to use an integrated antistatic device and provides a wide temperature range from -15 °C to - 185 °C for cryosectioning. All controls are via the control unit (CU) of the ultramicrotome.
