Whilst on campus I am either locked away in the dungeon, or slaving away in the basement. Here are some snaps of my torturers... (using my trusty Fuji F100fd)


The brand of the implement

The task.... cutting 70-90nm thin sections...in this case preparing the block

Is that some sort of microtome?

Thanks guys, I am really impressed by the detail that the Fuji P&S captured in the first picture. I am tempted to bring in my Macro and shoot some more pics.

It is a Leica Ultracut T (ultra microtome for cutting very thin sections for Transmission Electron Microscopy).

TEM - that explains why the sections are so small!

Cool - thanks PS: (I did some histology at university)
