ROTARY MICROTOME
MAKE DINESH SCIENTIFIC
DESCRIPTION
In histology and pathology labs, a rotary microtome is a precision cutting tool used to prepare thin sections of biological specimens. This advanced instrument is made to consistently slice tissue samples thinly, enabling in-depth microscopic analysis. A revolving specimen holder, which firmly holds the tissue block or specimen in place during the cutting process, is an essential part of a rotary microtome.
The rotary microtome rotates on a rotary principle, moving the specimen in small increments in the direction of a sharp blade. The tissue is sectioned smoothly and continuously thanks to this rotational movement. Because the sections’ thickness can be precisely changed, pathologists and researchers can get slices with different thicknesses to suit their unique experimental or diagnostic requirements.
In histological studies, accuracy and precision are critical, and rotary microtomes provide a level of control that is essential for producing high-quality sections. To accommodate a variety of tissue types and experimental needs, these instruments feature fine-tuning mechanisms, specimen orientation controls, and cutting speed adjustments. The resultant sections are usually placed onto glass slides for further staining and microscopic examination, which advances our knowledge of pathological states and cellular architecture.
FEATURES:
- Exceptionally precise modular system with sliding-clutch anti-locking system in the coarse advance and comprehensive protection guaranteed.
- Mode of Cutting/Trimming
- Fast Forward and Reverse Mechanism
- Section Thickness: Increase or Decrease
- Section Thickness Display / Section Counter
- Knife lateral adjustment to guarantee full blade usage without releasing the blade clamping mechanism.
- Tool access is made easy with the instrument’s large storage capacity on top
- A finger protection guard shields the user from any cuts sustained from blades.
- Movable handwheel that locks in place for user security.
- Strong and steady base plate to ensure the microtome is as stable as possible.
- A variable specimen retraction value is used to increase the cutting surface’s lifespan.
- End positions are indicated by the safety alarm system.
- Design that is user-friendly and ergonomic
- Section Waste Tray: Easily removable for cleaning, this tray collects waste from specific sections.
- Step motor feed motion is used for the 25 mm +/-1 mm horizontal specimen feed
- Two-step motorized coarse feed rate of 300 microns per second and 900 microns per second
- A micro step drive and a precision stepper motor are used to guarantee precise specimen advancement during sectioning, maintaining a consistent specimen thickness
