The Most Comprehensive Product Portfolio for Electron Microscopy Sample Preparation

Leica Microsystems Enlarges Product Portfolio through the BAL-TEC Acquisition

Leica Microsystems has expanded its EM sample preparation business by making another company acquisition. On February 15, 2008, the purchase agreement was signed with Bal-Tec AG based in Liechtenstein. Bal-Tec AG develops, produces and sells instruments for sample preparation in scanning electron microscopy which is an excellent match for the Leica range of transmission microscopy products. Both technologies are used for preparing biological, medical and industrial materials samples.

HPM100 High Pressure Freezer

This chamber also holds the ballistic pressure and the temperature sensor. An air driven intensifier pressurizes the liquid nitrogen to 210MPa. The process chamber is filled with a small volume of alcohol prior to freezing. The hi ...
