Description
Retractor, stainless steel, double-tine is a compact laboratory and histology instrument with a blunt, one-sided double-tine working end and an overall length of 160 mm. Fabricated from stainless steel, it is intended for careful tissue holding and gentle retraction tasks in microscopy, histology, and related special-instrument applications. The blunt tine geometry supports controlled manipulation where sharp tips are not required, while the one-sided double-tine layout aids stable engagement of tissue or specimen material during preparation and examination. Supplied as a single unit, the tool fits specialised instrument sets used at the bench for dissection support and sample positioning. This retractor from manufacturer Hammacher belongs to the special instruments category for microscopy and histology work and complements other fine stainless-steel tools in the same range. Its defined 160 mm length and stainless-steel construction make selection straightforward for laboratories that standardise on durable metal retractors for routine and specialised specimen handling.
This article is part of Microscopy accessories, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Retractor, stainless steel, double-tine, blunt, one-sided, 160 mm, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Retractor, stainless steel, double-tine, blunt, one-sided, 160 mm, 1 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hammacher for laboratory use. It sits in Microscopy accessories, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Microscopy accessories are the stages, the holders, the bulbs and the cameras' adapters that are not the objective and not the slide. A C-mount adapter of the wrong factor crops or vignettes the image. The accessory has to name the microscope it fits.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
