Electron Microscopy Sciences Multi Task Beem® Capsule Holder Set

Electron Microscopy Sciences The multi-task beem capsule holder is designed to hold size "00" beem capsule during resin polymerization. Use when embedding and polymerizing resin by microwave under water. The direct contact of the microwave energy to the resin causes the resin to heat to quick and leads to micro bubbles inside the resin block and possible damage to the tissues. This is eliminated by immersing the resin capsule in a water bath during microwaving. This ?indirect contact of microwave energy to the resin will help the embedding block polymerize nicely and homogeneously and avoids the  overheating of the tissue. Mold is machined from polyethylene block, comes in two parts: bottom part which holds the beem capsule, and the second part which is placed on top and is securd by two plastic screws to ensure the beem capsules are in place and capsule lid will not pop out during under water polymerization or microwave irradiation. - EMS
