Leica has a more ergonomically correct cryostat, which sits lower and your feet are on the ground.

Subject: [Histonet] cryostat design

Hello all;

Is anyone aware of a cryostat design in which the microtome cabinet would sit at bench level?  In other words, it would function like any regular bench microtome but be housed in a cold cabinet like a cryostat?
This would enable the operator to work in a desk position instead of uncomfortably being hunched over a cryostat cabinet.  

 

Thanks in advance,

Kim
