4.6 Assembling the "deluxe specimen tray"
4. Setup the Instrument
Fig. 9
The deluxe specimen tray (22, Fig. 11 ) is assem-
bled inside the regular black Vibratome tray (23,
Fig. 10 ). It enables separation of buffer solution
and ice that can accumulate in the Vibratome
tray.
The specimen tray can be sterilized and has
round "plates" on which the specimens can be
fastened very easily ( Fig. 11, page 17)
The surface of the deluxe specimen tray and the
specimen plates (32) both have an angle scale
so that a repeatable position of the specimens
relative to the blade is possible.
