Leica EM FC7 Cryochamber
Samples mounted in the EM FC7 cryochamber allow for preparation of ultrathin cryo-sections at temperatures between -15°C and -185°C.
After collection, sections are used for high-quality cryo-TEM (transmission electron microscopy), cryo-SEM (scanning electron microscopy), AFM (atomic force microscopy), and LM (light microscopy) applications.
A variety of samples ranging from frozen biological material to polymers and rubbers can be easily sectioned with the utmost precision in only a few simple steps.
- Full control integration with the EM UC7 touchscreen control panel
- Highly stable temperature regulation and low LN2 (liquid nitrogen) consumption
- Three different cryo-modes available for use: 1) standard, 2) high gas flow, and 3) wet cryo-sectioning
- Superior viewing angles of the frozen sample material and a patented LED illumination system
- Electrostatic charge and discharge functions for section adherence with the EM CRION ionizer (optional)
- Attachable micromanipulator for precise positioning of TEM grids for easy section collection (optional)
- Direct transfer of sections to TEM or SEM in cryo-conditions via the EM VCT500 (optional)
