Answer:

microtome (from the Greek mikros, meaning "small", and temnein, meaning "to cut") is a tool used to cut extremely thin slices of material, known as sections. Important in science, microtomes are used in microscopy, allowing for the preparation of samples for observation under transmitted light or electron radiation.

Microtomes use steel, glass, or diamond blades depending upon the specimen being sliced and the desired thickness of the sections being cut. Steel blades are used to prepare sections of animal or plant tissues for light microscopy histology. Glass knives are used to slice sections for light microscopy and to slice very thin sections for electron microscopy. Industrial grade diamond knives are used to slice hard materials such as bone, teeth and plant matter for both light microscopy and for electron microscopy. Gem quality diamond knives are used for slicing thin sections for electron microscopy.

Microtomy is a method for the preparation of thin sections for materials such as bones, minerals and teeth, and an alternative to electropolishing and ion milling. Microtome sections can be made thin enough to section a human hair across its breadth, with section thickness between 50 nm and 100 µm

Answer:

A microtome is an instrument used to slice materials into incredibly thin sections, which is derived from the Greek words 'mikros', which means "tiny," and 'temnein', which means "to cut."

Explanation:

  • A microtome is a specialised precision cutting tool that cuts sections from a block of implanted tissue repeatedly and correctly.
  • In addition to the specialised microtomes used to slice frozen tissues, other microtomes are utilised to section paraffin and plastic embedded tissues.
  • There should be no apparent scratch marks on the slide's surface and all the necessary tissues should be exposed to the face.
  • The knife must be moved laterally to use a new piece of the knife edge, and the block face must be trimmed once more if the scratch marks are visible.
