UC Enuity is a next-generation ultramicrotome that supports semi- and ultra-thin sectioning and smooth surface preparation for LM, TEM, SEM, and AFM. Automated setup functions, such as autoalignment and auto trimming, help reduce manual setup steps, while fluorescence- or µCT-guided targeting and serial sectioning support efficient volume EM workflows.
Main Features
- Prepare semi- and ultra-thin sections and smooth surfaces for multiple imaging methods (LM, TEM, SEM and AFM) to keep downstream analysis moving.
- Reduce setup time and training effort with automated setup functions, including auto-alignment of the block face and knife, and an auto-approach mode.
- Increase trimming productivity with automation, enabling routine trimming tasks to run with fewer manual steps.
- Reach your region of interest faster using fluorescence-guided targeting by monitoring fluorescence during sectioning at room temperature and under cryo conditions.
- Trim directly toward buried targets using 3D µCT data by selecting the desired cutting plane and starting an automated 3D trimming process.
- Speed up volume EM workflows with serial sectioning support by preparing uniform ribbons for array tomography and collecting aligned ultrathin sections directly on a wafer for fast, reliable transfer into the electron microscope.
- Scale capabilities over time with an easily upgradable ultramicrotome that can be expanded from a basic instrument to a more fully featured system with add-on modules.
- Keep service support available with built-in remote care
