Which Roboz tweezers should I use to pick up microscope slides?
The RS-8260 Kuehne Micro Dissecting Forceps are recommended for picking up slides and cover glass. They have a unique thin flat, angled, bill-like tip that allows the fine glass to slip onto its tip easily. Back Why do some instruments have gold or black handles? In addition to regular scissor designs Roboz also supplies scissors with tungsten carbide blades or with the Sure Cut design. The handle colors differentiate these special scissors from other scissors. In the past only a gold coating was used. Currently either gold or black is used. A black ring handle identifies that scissor as a Sure Cut scissor. This is a special scissor design that incorporates a razor edge on one blade and a serrated blade on the other. This design makes it easy to cut soft tissue without crushing. A Sure-cut scissor creates a sharp, clean, smooth cut. A scissor with two gold ring handles has tungsten carbide inserts on the blade edge. Carbide is a very hard metal that will maintain a sharp edge much long
