Specification
Section Thickness Range: 1.0 to 60 um Trimming Thickness Range: 10 to 50 um Dimensions (WxDxH): 413 x 618 x 305 mm (with handwheel, waste tray and storage tray installed on housing)
Features
Coarse-feed wheel Coarse-feed wheel is 80 mm closer to the user compared to competitor products to support fatigue-free sectioning.
Large 70mm vertical stroke The large 70mm vertical stroke allows sectioning of super mega cassettes and also supports safer specimen changing due to the greater distance to the knife edge.
Adjustable handwheel system Patented adjustable handwheel balance system protects the specimen because the object head does not drop into the knife when sectioning is stopped.
Precision orientation system The optional 8° X/Y precision orientation system with calibrated controls helps to quickly orient already cut specimens (re-cuts). The system then rapidly returns the exact zero position, which is marked by two red indicators.
Handwheel in any position The handwheel brake on top of handwheel allows the handwheel to be locked in the upper position and the locking system below the handwheel allows it to be locked in any position.
