The workshop organized by Emme3 and RMC, in collaboration with the CNIS, Research Center for Nanotechnology applied to Engineering of the Sapienza University, is focused on the study of the ultrastructure of biological and polymeric samples, both at room temperature and in cryo. The proper tools and the proper techniques will be presented for sectioning this kind of samples using ultramicrotome and cryoultramicrotome. Moreover, practical examples of cutting at cryo and room temperature will be performed.

In addition, during the workshop the new ATUMtome and ASH systems for tomography using utramicrotomy technique, in fact these two patented innovative systems from RMC allow the real three-dimensional reconstruction of a dissected specimen by ultramicrotome.
