The Leica Reichert-Jung 2050 Supercut is a high-precision motorized microtome designed for routine and research histology applications requiring ultra-thin, consistent sectioning of biological specimens. Known for its superior stability and cutting accuracy, the Supercut 2050 combines manual control with motorized precision to deliver reproducible results across paraffin-embedded and frozen tissue blocks.
Motorized Cutting Action:
Equipped with a motor-driven specimen advance system for smooth, repeatable sectioning. It supports both continuous and step motor cutting modes for versatility in various applications.
Wide Sectioning Range:
Offers adjustable section thickness from 0.5 µm to 60 µm, with selectable trimming modes for rapid block facing.
Ergonomic Control Panel:
Features an intuitive front panel with digital settings for section thickness, trimming values, and movement speed.
Precision Specimen Feed:
Microprocessor-controlled specimen feed ensures consistent advancement and reproducible section quality.
Versatile Sample Holder Compatibility:
Accommodates a range of sample clamps and holders, including universal cassette clamps and orienting heads.
Manual or Automated Operation:
The Supercut 2050 can be used in manual mode for fine control or automatic mode for repetitive tasks, reducing user fatigue.
