Microtomes

Microtomes are precision instruments that cut thin sections from a specimen, typically a few micrometres thick, so the slice can be mounted on a slide and examined under a microscope. In histology and pathology, sectioning tissue to a uniform thickness is what makes staining and imaging reproducible. On Questpair, 178 microtomes are listed from 13 verified suppliers and distributors across 7 countries. New, used and refurbished units appear in the catalogue. Among the current listings, 100 percent are used. Prices run from EUR 47 to EUR 25.350, with an average around EUR 2.973, a spread that separates a basic manual laboratory microtome from a motorised instrument with accessories.
