A device for slicing ultra thin slices, called sections - hence sectioning - from a solid block of sample for viewing under microscopes.
They used to be precision, but the latest is ultra-precision: current models can and do section at the level of 20,000 sections per millimeter!

What is a freezing microtome?
A freezing microtome is an instrument used in the laboratory to section small delicate materials. Sectioning is done on a platform which is frozen by snowing CO2. The microtome knife is also snowed with CO2. In this type of microtome, sectioning is done by the microtome knife moving towards the material to be sectioned. For materials that have alcohol, it should first be removed before being sectioned.
