Description
Section lifter with an overall length of 155 mm and working dimensions of 55 x 8 mm (SLxSB) is a specialised laboratory hand tool for careful lifting and transfer of thin sections during preparation work. The slender 55 x 8 mm profile supports precise handling where a narrow blade geometry is required, while the 155 mm length offers practical reach across slides, dishes and small vessels. Supplied as a single piece, the instrument has a net weight of 0,01 kg and a gross weight of 0,016 kg, remaining light enough for fine manual control. This section lifter from manufacturer Hammacher is part of the laboratory materials category and is suited to histology-related and general laboratory workflows that call for controlled section transfer. Clearly specified SLxSB dimensions allow users to select the tool according to section size and bench layout. The compact form factor fits routine research, teaching and quality-control environments where dedicated lifters help maintain orderly sample handling without unnecessary bulk on the workstation.

What is this article?
Section lifter, 155 mm, 55 x 8 mm (SLxSB) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hammacher for laboratory use. It sits in Histology reagents & consumables, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
Histology reagents are the fixatives, the solvents, the paraffins and the stains that turn a tissue into a readable section. The stain and the tissue, not the bottle size alone, choose the reagent. Many of these liquids are flammable or toxic and travel under dangerous-goods rules.
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.
