Tissue slice anchoring harps for SHD-WARNER recording chamber
Slice anchors, often referred to as harps, are used to hold fabric slices in Warner recording chambers, particularly the 20 and 40 series. Made from 316 stainless steel or plastic (polycarbonate) and fitted with Lycra® threads, they are designed to fit easily into the chamber and allow precise control of the pressure exerted on the slice without damaging it.
Features of the SHD-WARNER WARNER Tissue Slice Anchor Harps (Grille de maintien / Slice Anchors).
- Robust materials: 316 stainless steel or polycarbonate with plastic finish
- High-precision Lycra® wires spaced 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm apart
- Complete kits including several harps and nylon meshes (112 µm and 160 µm)
- Adjustable versions for a grip closer to the chamber walls
