Leica HPM 010 High-pressure freezer A high pressure freezing system for vitrifying samples up to 200µm in thickness. High-pressure freezing rapidly immobilizes aqueous specimens, minimizing artifacts and ensuring optimal preservation for downstream electron microscopy workflows. |
 |
| Leica Freeze Substitution
The Leica EM AFS2 performs freeze substitution and progressive lowering of temperature (PLT) techniques and allows low temperature embedding and polymerization of resins. The Leica EM FSP (freeze substitution processor), an automatic reagent handling system combined with the Leica EM AFS2, dispenses reagents for both freeze substitution and PLT applications. The LED illumination from within the chamber and the attached stereomicroscope for viewing and positioning of samples ensures ease of use. |
