Quick highlights
- Rotating Microtome: Improved Precision Model
- Heavy duty die cast metal base with all-metal protective cover
- Ball and flange storage for exact sample centering
- Knife holder with side movement to use the entire thread of the knife
Rotating Microtome (Improved Model) – Precision Sectioning of Tissues
A very popular, standard, and inexpensive rotary microtome that offers the advantages of a precision sectioning device. The mechanism sits on a heavy die-cast metal base and is fully protected by a metal cover to keep dust and sand away. Built with quality alloys and metals, this unit is designed for reliable performance in histology, pathology, research, and teaching labs.
Main Features
- Heavy-duty die-cast metal base for stiffness and vibration damping
- Internal mechanism completely enclosed under a protective metal cover
- Spherical and flanged object clamp for precise sample centering
- Side Movement Knife Holder: Allows full use of knife wire and extends blade life
- All components are made of high quality standard alloys/metals
- Forged razor (120mm) made of imported fine grain tool steel; microstructure tested and heat treated for optimal stiffness and sharpness
Applications, Uses, and Benefits
Rotating microtomes are fundamental tools used in histology, pathology, and biomedical research to produce thin, uniform sections of tissue essential for microscopic analysis and staining protocols.
- Histology and clinical diagnostics: Paraffin included fabric section for H&E staining, diagnostic slides, and pathological workflows.
- Research and molecular labs: Prepare serial sections for immunohistochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, and imaging-based analysis.
- Frozen/cryosection workflows: Integrates with cryostat procedures: Ideal for labs that perform quick frozen sections during surgeries or special protocols.
- Teaching and training: Standards in university teaching labs to demonstrate microtomy techniques and tissue morphology.
- Quality and consistency: Proper blades and techniques reduce artifacts such as chatter and wrinkles, improving the quality and reproducibility of slides.
