Ultramilling attachment for the Leica SM2500 large scale, heavy duty sectioning system Leica SP2600 Ultramiller

Ultramilling is often a viable alternative to standard microtomy and saw microtomy in sample preparation.

Instead of preparing thin sections for transmitted light microscopy, a polished surface is prepared for examination under reflected light.

Using the ultramilling technique makes it possible to track the area of interest in depth as the surface layer can be removed in micrometer steps. Please note: The instrument cannot be used to mill alloys or implants containing iron or ceramics.
