Question

What is the name of the special device used to section a frozen block of tissue?
A)micrometer
B)cryoslicer
C)cryomicrotome
D)ultratome
E)microslicer

Accepted Answer

The device used to section a frozen block of tissue is called a cryomicrotome. A cryomicrotome is a type of microtome that is used specifically for cutting frozen tissue samples into thin sections for microscopic examination.  Micrometer is not the correct term for this device, as it is a tool used for measuring small distances. Ultratome can also be used for sectioning tissues, but it is typically used for relatively large fixed tissues rather than frozen samples. Microslicer is not a commonly used term in this context.
