ROTARY MICROTOME

ROTARY MICROTOME
MAKE DINESH SCIENTIFIC
MODEL DS-RM-100
DESCRIPTION:
PRECISION CUTTING:
Allows for extremely thin and precise sections of specimens cut, essential for microscopic examination.
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.

ADJUSTABLE THICKNESS SETTINGS:
 Enables users to select the desired thickness of the slices, typically ranging from 10 to 50 micrometers.

BLADE TYPES:
 Compatible with steel, glass, or diamond blades, depending on the specimen type and required slice thickness.

SPECIMEN HOLDER:
 Securely holds the specimen in place during the cutting process, ensuring consistent and accurate sections.

OPERATION MODES:
 Available in manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic models to suit different user needs and preferences.
SAFETY FEATURES:
 Includes safety mechanisms to protect users from accidental cuts and injuries.

DIGITAL DISPLAY:
 Modern microtomes may feature digital interfaces for easy adjustment and monitoring of settings.
 Motorized Controls Some models offer motorized advance and retraction of the specimen for enhanced precision and ease of use.
