Grinding Mouse made of massive milled and turned aluminum and brass parts for specimen on microscope slides with DIN format (76 x 26 mm). Provided with an integrated, spring-activated vacuum pump. The Grinding Mouse is delivered in a wooden case together with wear parts set.

Setting device measuring approx. 12 x 9 x 8 cm, suitable for format 76 x 26 mm Grinding Mouse, provided with non-slip rubber feet, including a set of blank sheets (2 blanks per thickness) from 30µ to 1000µ.

Gauge for instantaneous µ-exact measurement of grinding thickness. It consists of waterproof, robust high-quality dial gauge for professionals made in the “Black Forest”. This gauge means an enormous saving of labor and so indispensable for making thin sections.

Rubbing, pre-grinding, thin section grinding, polishing

For all these steps only one machine is needed.

Exchanging of discs within 5 seconds.

It is finely polished with gliding surface made of ceramics.

Available for granulation from „extra fine“ to „extra rough“.

Magnet disc with a diameter of 25 cm for use of all polishing discs, grinding discs, tissue discs etc. with steel back.

The specimen are securely fixed by spring force which is easy to dose. By using this mounting press, bonding with reproducible thickness is obtained.

Also usable for mounting of cover glasses without spring force.

The mounting press is also suitable (without feet) for big hotplates because of its flat bottom.

The mounting press Vario comes with bottom panels made of Plexiglas and hard anodized aluminum.

It is the ideal device for bonding with light-curable adhesives as well as with traditional embedding media.

Without spring force also suitable for mounting cover glasses.

For a quick and complete cure of UV-curable adhesives.

The perfect addition for the Mounting Press Vario

• Mounting cover glasses in seconds.
• Infusing sample material, such as hairs, sand and pollen in seconds.
• Mounting cover glasses

6 high power LEDs let you cure adhesives and UV-curable mounting mediums quick and easy. Exposure time can be preset.

UV-curable adhesives and mounting mediums, refraction index up to 1.60, available by us.

It is suitable for the preparation of thin, filigree and flexible specimen. They are pressed flat onto the microscope slide by the spike pad. By this a uniform thin adhesive layer is guaranteed. This spike pad is as well suitable for a uniform flat pressing of cover glasses.

In this picture you can see the spike pads as described above in use.

Take this polishing mouse with your microscope slide (48 x 28 mm) for a finished polishing in a convenient and safe way. It is milled from massive aircraft aluminum, approx. 5,5 x 3,5 x 0,8 cm.

The polishing mouse can be operated by your centrally placed finger.

By using this polishing mouse, you operate your microscope slide format 48 x 28 mm, by watching the extent of transparency during work.

By using this polishing mouse, you operate your microscope slide, DIN format, by watching the extent of transparency during work.

Watch out: We strongly recommend you to change to format 48 x 28 mm for rubbing and thin sections!

This polishing tool is intended for tightening abrasive and polishing paper. These can be purchased from us (see below) or made by you from abrasive paper in DIN format by cutting the sheet into three strips each of the same size.

This is our polishing paper with silicon carbide, granulation 2500 and 5000 suitable for our polishing tool.

This supporting frame prevents the microscope slide to fall down onto the front lens of the condenser.
