An ultra microtome is a mechanical instrument used to cut specimens into very thin slices for microscopic examination. Integrated with a cryo-attachment, an ultra microtome can be operated well below freezing temperatures, allowing samples to be sectioned without changing or damaging their native structures. This ability is particularly useful for hydrous samples. The ability to produce smooth surfaces under controlled cryo-environments by an ultra microtome is of particular relevance to research in processing of minerals and fossil fuels as well as biomedical engineering, aiming at fundamental understanding and key technology development.

超薄切片机是一种机械仪器，用于将标本切成非常薄的切片进行显微镜检查。与冷冻附件集成，超薄切片机可以在低于冷冻温度下操作，允许样品切片而不改变或破坏其天然结构。这种能力对于含水样品特别有用。通过超薄切片机在受控低温环境下产生光滑表面的能力对于矿物和化石燃料加工以及生物医学工程的研究特别相关，旨在基本理解和关键技术开发。
