Slide stabilizer for long microscope slides (3D model)

(40 cm)

In dendro-anatomical studies, it is becoming increasingly common to cut micro sections from entire increment cores.

3D printers now allow for the creation of slide holders for micro slides of a length of 40 cm or more.

The stability of the printed holders allows the user to quite precisely manually move the slide sideways below the objective of the microscope.

Our base model is optimized for Olympus BX microscopes (BX41, BX51)

3D model available on request.
