The Fully Automatic Rotary Microtome allows 3 cutting modes -- continuous, single and multi-cut through automatic or manual sectioning. Its precise lateral knife holder permits three predefined stop positions aside from its adjustable retraction. With an integrated LCD display, practical backlit and intuitive control panel, it is easy to use. It also has safety features -- emergency stop while cutting, a course feed wheel can manually advance the block to the knife edge, exclusive speed control pedal, very low noise level and a specimen holder with integrated automatic quick lock mechanism.
