Automatic Rotary Microtomes

Automatic Rotary Microtomes

Razor-E offers great user benefit and gives superior comfort to the operator.The perfectly ergonomic arrangements of the control elements enable an effortless handling of the microtome. Section thickness can be adjusted between 0.5 µm – 60 µm and the automatic trimming in 3 steps: 1:10 µm, 2:20 µm, 3:30 µm. The automatic mode simplifies the technical difficulties of sectioning and reduces the operator labor intensity and makes work more efficient. A change between these two modes is quickly done.

The powerful cutting motor drive with safety function ensures high section stability and precision.

Hand wheel lock
With the conveniently integrated locking lever on the hand wheel the rotation of the wheel can be locked at one of the 24 locking positions.

Protection guard
The protection guard is to cover the cutting edge when the blade is inserted into the blade holder.

Emergency shut down button
With the emergency shut down button the slicing process can be stopped immediately.

Specimen retraction function
To eliminate potential damage to the blade or the specimen during the upwards movement after the stroke. When the object after sectioning performs the return movement (upwards), it automatically moves back and before the next sectioning stroke, the object moves to its correct position.
 

The microtome is provided with an electronic servo-drive unit. This facilitates the operation considerably by a long persistent cutting. The cutting on the terminal is possible in 3 variations:
a) Tab operation, b) Single stroke, c) Continuous stroke

The cutting speed is adjustable on a resistance of 1 – 150 strokes per minute
