Leica EM UC7
Leica EM FC7
High Quality Ultramicrotome for Precise Room Temperature
and Cryo Sectioning
Highest Quality Sectioning
High quality sectioning of specimens for light, electron, and atomic force microscopy examination has never been easier and more precise. Leica Microsystems introduces its latest specimen preparation technology: the Leica EM UC7 ultramicrotome and the Leica EM FC7 cryo chamber attachment.

Leica EM UC7
The Leica EM UC7 prepares excellent quality semiand ultra-thin sections, as well as the perfectly smooth surfaces required for LM, TEM, SEM, and AFM examination. The precision mechanics, ergonomic design, and intuitive layout of the touchscreen control unit make the Leica EM UC7 ideal for the highest quality specimen preparation.
•Eucentric movement of the stereomicroscope observation system with patented designated positions for specimen approach, for glass and diamond knives.
•In addition to the standard LED illumination for top light and backlight and transmitted light, the LED spot illumination offers a focused light beam to enhance observation, e.g., for cleaning the knife edge and during cryo-sectioning.
•The user can walk away from the instrument during trimming; the combination of the fully motorized knife stage and patented AutoTrim function completes and then stops the trim automatically.
•The ergonomic design provides comfortable, fatigue-free operation for left and right handed users.
•Excellent observation of the section at low water levels and during cryo sectioning, without compromising the user’s ergonomic posture.
•The stereomicroscope offers higher magnification than ever before.
•Easy-to-learn, fast operation via touchscreen control and displayed hints.
•Data transfer for reporting user, specimen, knife and storage parameters provides an electronic, paper-free log file.
•The operator recognition system makes it easy for multiple users to use the same instrument. Up to 100 different user/specimen/knife profiles can be set.

Ergonomic Design
Comfortable to use
Leica Microsystems designed the Leica EM UC7/FC7 with specific features that make it a user-friendly, ergonomic instrument providing comfort and minimizing strain for each user. Easy, fast adjustments adapt the instrument to accommodate multiple users.
Fatigue-free operation is an integral benefit of the Leica EM UC7/ FC7 design. The Leica M80 stereomicroscope with ErgoWedge accessory adapts the height and angle of the optical head to adjust perfectly to an individual’s body height and position. Arm rests are attached to the instrument table. These features, in conjunction with the ergonomically arranged control elements, enhance user comfort, even after hours of instrument use.

Optimal Positioning of the Optical Head
The Eucentric Movement of the Leica EM UC7 viewing system allows examination of sections, even with a lowered water level e.g. for Lowycryls and dry sections.
For accurate approach of the knife towards the specimen with the backlight, the viewing angle must be set according to the type of knife in use.
The patented defined position marks of the eucentric movement provide maximum approach accuracy either for glass or diamond knife approach.
