These unitized polyethylene molds have been used quite successfully for holding embedding medium plus specimen material during polymerization prior to ultramicrotomy. Each mold unit makes 10 numbered blocks, 8 mm in diameter, the equivalent of #00 embedding capsules. These blocks have a pyramid-shaped tip 1 mm square, which requires little or no trimming.

Available in two sizes: 5.6 and 8mm diameter. The 5.6mm diameter molds corresponds to BEEM capsule size 3 and the 8mm diameter molds corresponds to BEEM capsule size 00. These polyethylene molds make embedding easy and the see-through tips facilitate rapid specimen orientation. Polymerized blocks can be removed by thumb pressure. Easy Molds come as a free-standing stack of 20 embedding compartments which allows free circulation of air and gives even polymerization. For anaerobic embedding resins, the molds are self-stacking, allowing sealing from air. The used molds are convenient for storage of blocks after sectioning. Mold size is 87 x 66mm. Learn More
White, waxy, water soluble material used as a parting layer to permit floating a replica free from a specimen surface. Predried to minimize delay during operational pump-down in the vacuum evaporator.

Mica is used in the preparation of carbon substrates. Evaporated carbon film can readily be floated free from a freshly cleaved mica surface and then be picked up on grids. Sheets are easily cleaved to form 3 or 4 fresh surfaces. Flame spectroscopy analysis show this mica to be of very high quality.

The Zerostat 3 is the ideal device for sample cleaning in electron microscope and histology labs and in photographic dark rooms. It easily releases dust from critical surfaces such as grid storage boxes, film, samples, plastics, etc. The Zerostat 3 functions by neutralizing static electricity. It prevents charged particles from "flying" during weighing or transfer, and keeps film, glass, and plasticware dust and lint-free. It is nonradioactive, and does not require an electrical power supply or batteries. Life expectancy is 50,000+ squeezes of the trigger. Each squeeze of the trigger generates a charge of approximately 1 Coulomb. Dimensions are 4.5" x 6.5". Learn More
