RMC advanced substrate holder
RMC ASH2 is a multi-axis manipulation tool designed to precisely position substrates for the collection of ribbons of serial sections for array tomography. RMC ASH2 fits on to the knife holder of RMC PowerTome and Leica ultramicrotomes and is used in combination with DiATOME ultra jumbo diamond knives. It allows the collection and pickup of long ribbons of serial sections directly onto a choice of substrates which include glass slides, ITO coated coverslips and silicon wafers. By collecting hundreds of sections on one substrate it enables the transfer to a suitable SEM for fast and efficient array tomography imaging.
An optional mount enables it to be used on Leica UC6 and UC7 ultramicrotomes.
ASH2 can be used with a number of different diamond knives such as DiATOME histo, jumbo and ultra Jumbo 35 degree or 45 degree. (See: DiATOME knives)
We can also offer silicon wafers and wafer cleaving pliers  for the preparation of silicon substrates.
- Holds substrates of various materials and sizes for ultrathin section collection
- 3-axes of movement allows for precise alignment of the substrate
- Ideal for the collection of hundreds of sections per substrate
- Can be used with standard room temperature diamond knives or jumbo knives
- Compatible with all current RMC and Leica ultramicrotomes
- Used to efficiently collect and align ribbons of serial sections
