Device for removing cut waste from frozen specimen cut by microtome has at least one filter outside cryostat in chamber for collecting cut waste; chamber is cooling chamber with cooling device

摘要

The device has at least one suction opening (6) in the cutting region (5), a suction device (7), a transport path (8) leading out of a cold chamber (4) of a cryostat (1) and at least one filter (10) arranged outside the cryostat in a chamber for collecting the cut waste. The chamber is a cooling chamber (9) with a cooling device (11). The cooling device generates coldness independently of that generated by the cryostat.
