The ATUMtome tape collection system is a unique system for collecting sections on a continious tape. Typically, a resin-embedded specimen is used
on the ultramicrotome to cut serial sections that then float on a surface of the water in the diamond knife trough. The ATUMtome moves a continuous ribbon of tape through this water through, automatically removing the serial sections from the water surface in sequence.
After the sections are collected, the tape is mounted onto a silicon wafer substrate or glass slides. The sections are now ready for imaging with a scanning electron microscope or via other microscopy techniques.
