Precisely prepare fibre samples and identification undera microscopeQuick, easy and repeatable results.The Wira Precision Fibre Microtome produces accurate cross-sectional specimens of fibrefor further examination under a microscope.

TestMethodA degreased bundle of fibre is insertedinto the slot on the top of the Microtome.An embeddingmedium is applied to thebundle and allowed to dry. The Fibrebundle is placed on the ejector and themicrometer wheel is used to determinethe required parameters of the precisioncut.

CalibrationOn boardmicrometer determinesdesired cut specification.

FeaturesUsed to prepare test specimens forsuch tests as:✔ Contour of the fibre✔ Thickness of the cuticle layer✔ Presence of medulla - if present,

its type, shade, contour in relationto that of the fibre, and positionin the fibre

✔ Presence of pigment - if present,its distributionwhether it is sparse,dense or in large aggregates, andwhether it is most dense near themedulla or near the cuticle orarranged in bi-lateral form

✔ Dye penetration
