This microtome has been designed for effortless manual sectioning using a counterbalanced, exceptionally smooth-running hand-wheel. Storage space on top of the instrument housing provides room for sectioning tools and accessories. This microtome features a low-maintenance micrometer feed system. The vertical cross-roller guides are backlash and maintenance free. A horizontal specimen feed via a precision cylinder guide system.

Features

• Streamlined ABS body for easy cleaning
• Trimming button for easy switching between trimming and cutting mode
• Specimen retraction function protects specimen from blade damage
• Specimen feeding system uses the latest technology making specimen advance more precise
• Easily lubricated and maintained
• Smooth blade movement and rotation of hand wheel
• Disposable blade can move horizontally to avoid danger of contact with the blade
• Waste tray collects sectioning debris, easily removable for cleaning
• Adjustable specimen clamp base for quick exchange of cassette clamp and pincers clamp
• Specimen orientation on X/Y axes 8 deg.
• The large 70mm vertical stroke allows sectioning of super mega cassettes and also supports safer specimen changing due to the greater distance to the knife edge.
• Efficient trimming function - by activating the mechanical trimming function, the specimen advances towards the knife in a predefined step of 30ìm, which provides an efficient method of trimming specimen blocks.
• Specimen retraction prolongs the life of the cutting surface, facilitates consistent sectioning and eliminates the build-up of debris on the back of the knife or blade.
• Coarse adjustment - positioned closer to the user for ease of use.
• Cassette clamp and C clamp are optional

UM-MM245 manual microtome has chucks for both, wax blocks and histology cassettes. The trimming function has two different thicknesses allowing for one thick and one thin section - 10um and 30um.
