Leica Rotary Microtome

Description

The fully automated Leica RM2255 microtome embodies the latest technological innovations in microtomy and perfectly harmonizes practical features with an ergonomic design and user safety. Its two-in-one design concept, which allows motorized as well as manual sectioning, provides reproducible, quality sections.

Features:

• Compact, ergonomic design
• Ergonomically designed handwheel handle
• Smooth-running handwheel with integrated quick-lock mechanism for safety
• Enclosed micrometer feed mechanism
• Low-maintenance cross-roller bearings
• Two forward and backward coarse feed speeds
• Alternate trimming and sectioning modes, as indicated on the display
• Speed control through the cutting window for enhanced efficiency
• Automatic, variable specimen retraction, depending on sectioning speed
• Section thickness totalizer and section counter
• Intuitive control panel
• Integrated communication display
• Precise specimen orientation with zero point reference
• Knife holder design with red colored knife guard
• Precise lateral knife holder adjustment with click stop settings
• Spacious and easy-to-clean section waste tray
• Wide range of accessories
