Abstract

The present application discloses a microtome. The microtome includes: a blade cutting a soft material in a first direction, the first direction being a feeding direction of the soft material; a blade holder holding the blade; an actuator providing a vibration in a second direction along a cutting edge of the blade; and a frequency-tunable resonator driven by the actuator into vibration and fixedly connected to the blade holder to transfer the vibration to the blade holder and the blade, the resonator having a tunable resonant frequency in the second direction.
