The Leica SM2500 large-scale, heavy-duty sectioning system is the standard microtome for sectioning hard and/or large-surface specimens. Large specimens up to 250 x 200 mm and hard materials such as bones and teeth embedded in methyl-methacrylate can be sectioned. Typical medical research applications include the sectioning of whole organs such as brain or lung embedded in paraffin.

The SKP100 Scanning Kelvin Probe sets a new standard in surface science measurements. The Kelvin Probe is a non-contact, non-destructive instrument designed to measure the surface work function difference between conducting, coated, or semi-conducting materials and a sample probe. The technique operates using a vibrating capacitance probe. Through a swept backing voltage, the work function difference is measured between the scanning probe reference tip and sample surface.
