Biological thin specimens may be flash frozen using dry ice or liquid nitrogen and the sample is then embedded in paraffin wax or some similar material. From this block, thin sections are shaved off; often tens of samples; and these then may be transferred to a suitable mount for microscopic inspection.
The shaving is usually done with the sharp edge of a specially prepared glass blade, and the the whole assembly is known as a microtome.
This technique is used for plant or other bio tissue samples. For example, one could thus make a serial sections of a worm, allowing one to follow the location and shape of various organs in the body. Such as hearts or nephridia.
Geological thin specimens are also prepared for microscope inspection. The rock sample is mounted on a suitable carrier, and a smooth face is prepared using fine grinding techniques. The smooth face is then adhered to the smooth face of a carrier, and the remainder of the rock is then ground away until only a thin section remains. Using a transparent carrier allows the progress of the grinding to be monitored.
This is inspected under polarized light, and is an informative way of determining the minerals present.

The 'tom' part comes from the Greek, where it means to cut. Thus tomography, which is a picture made up from several slices. And tome for a bound book. A microtome is a laboratory device for making very thin slices. Atom means not cut, and this was the Greeks view of the smallest particle. They gave the name atom.
Yes, an apple slice that has been exposed to air can turn brown after a short period of time. If you need to keep the slices from turning, you can coat them with lemon juice or even lemon lime soda.
The noun 'cheese' is a mass noun (an uncountable noun), a word for a substance.Mass nouns are expressed using amounts or measures called partitive nouns; for example, a wheel of cheese or slices of cheese.The plural noun 'cheeses' is a shortened form of 'types of' or 'kinds of' cheese.
FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded) preparation includes a series of steps. First, the fresh collected tissue is immersed in a formaldehyde (formalin) solution to fix the cellular structures. This fixed tissue is then dehydrated with a series of alcohol dilutions and cleared by using a clearing agent. After that, the tissue is embedded in liquid paraffin wax. Finally, after the wax solified, the tissue wax block is sectioned into thin slices using a microtome. For further analysis, these since slices can be mounted onto a coverglass. To learn more about FFPE samples, I recommend to check out the FAQ on our website where we offer human tissue samples: centralbiohub.de/biospecimens/cancer-samples/ffpe-samples
so they can see it better
As many as you want!
Because they are circular and have sections that are like slices.
Biopsy specimens are often sliced into thin slices, stained, mounted on a glass slide, and examined using a light microscope. Newer sample preparation techniques involve the rapid freezing of the sample and slicing of the still-frozen material.
The net consists of a series of vertical lenticular (lens-shaped) sections that are joined together at their middle.The lenticular sections are flattened slices of the surface of the sphere from "north pole" to "south pole", taking in a few longitudes each, joined together along the "equator".See link for an illustration.The net consists of a series of vertical lenticular (lens-shaped) sections that are joined together at their middle.The lenticular sections are flattened slices of the surface of the sphere from "north pole" to "south pole", taking in a few longitudes each, joined together along the "equator".See link for an illustration.The net consists of a series of vertical lenticular (lens-shaped) sections that are joined together at their middle.The lenticular sections are flattened slices of the surface of the sphere from "north pole" to "south pole", taking in a few longitudes each, joined together along the "equator".See link for an illustration.The net consists of a series of vertical lenticular (lens-shaped) sections that are joined together at their middle.The lenticular sections are flattened slices of the surface of the sphere from "north pole" to "south pole", taking in a few longitudes each, joined together along the "equator".See link for an illustration.
The process used to produce TEM will cut cells and tissues in to ultra-thin slices so that they can be viewed under the microscope. However, the ones on SEM do not need to be cut as they can easily be visualized.
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!
to be corect it depends on the thinkness of the slices. but the waffer slices its arrount 40 slices :) :P
"Slices" can be used both as a verb ("the baker slices the loaf") and as a noun ("my club sandwich has three slices of bread").
7" = 4 slices9" = 6 slices
Larger slices of cheese!!!
About 67,200 slices
