4. Setup the Instrument
Fig. 9
The deluxe specimen bath (22, Fig. 11 ) is assem-
bled inside the standard black specimen bath
(23, Fig. 10 ). It enables separation of buffer so-
lution and ice preventing dilution of the buffer
while sectioning.
The deluxe specimen bath can be sterilized and
has round specimen discs on which the speci-
mens can be fastened very easily ( Fig. 11, page
17)
The surface of the deluxe specimen bath and
the specimen disks (32) both have an angle
scale so that a repeatable position of the speci-
mens relative to the blade is possible.
