UC Enuity Ultramicrotome
Experience the cutting edge of automation and precision
Do you need to produce thin or ultra-thin sections for EM sample preparation?
Introducing UC Enuity, the next generation ultramicrotome that saves you valuable time and resources through its automated setup functions, providing state-of-the-art sectioning quality.
Work smarter with automated technology
Experience the future of ultramicrotomy with autoalignment of block face and knife, and auto trimming.
Make every section count
Trim towards your target with the help of fluorescence or µCT data and deliver high quality sections for volume electron microscopy experiments.
Achieve consistent cryosectioning
Experience better quality cryo sections with superb precision and safety.
Empower your team through automation
Reduce the need for user training thanks to autoalignment - an auto approach mode which brings block face and knife together, automatically.
UC Enuity handles the trimming for you - all you need to do is define the boundaries of your sample block, and walk away.
Trim your target with the help of fluorescence
UC Enuity allows you to monitor the fluorescence signal during sectioning at both room temperature and in cryo conditions.
Quickly identify your region of interest in the resin block.
Make every section count for volume EM experiments
Speed up your volume EM research with UC Enuity. Prepare uniform, ultra-thin and thin ribbons for your array tomography experiments, at reduced risk of losing precious sections.
You can collect uniformly aligned ultra-thin sections straight on the wafer, for fast and reliable transfer into the electron microscope.
Three consecutive ribbons for Array Tomography, 30 sections each, 70 nm feed. The ribbons were prepared with UC Enuity Volume EM module. After automatically cutting the ribbons, UC Enuity added two release cuts of 100 nm thickness at the end of each ribbon.
