The hand wheel is dynamically balanced for smooth rotation. The specimen clamp accepts standard cassettes and oversized blocks. The blade holder angle is adjustable from 0-10 degrees. The instrument includes a removable waste tray. Dimensions are 400mm x 350mm x 250mm. Weight is 30kg. Warranty is 2 years parts and labor. Calibration certificate included.
Rotary microtome from Micron is the most commonly used microtome for cutting paraffin-embedded tissue sections in histopathology laboratories. This precision instrument produces consistent, high-quality sections for diagnostic microscopy. This rotary microtome is widely considered the best solution for routine sectioning.
The microtome features a precision-ground feed mechanism that produces sections from 0.5 to 100 microns with exceptional consistency. The counterbalanced hand wheel provides smooth, low-torque operation. Micron's rotary microtome is a top rated instrument among histotechnologists for reliability and precision. The universal blade holder accepts high-profile and low-profile disposable blades.
The best rotary microtome from Micron includes a specimen retraction system that prevents blade damage on the return stroke. The LCD display shows section thickness, trimming thickness, and section count. The heavy cast iron construction eliminates vibration during cutting. For laboratories seeking consistent, artifact-free sections, this rotary microtome is one of the best investments. The safety hand wheel lock and finger guard protect users during blade changes.
Micron's rotary microtome is available in manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic models. Each unit is calibrated and tested before shipment. Contact us to learn more about the rotary microtome for your laboratory. We offer professional installation and training.
