It is a universally approved, modern and reliable sectioning equipment designed for very precise sectioning of tissues upto 1 µm thickness. The feed indicator, located in front of microtome & is operated by the latest 'CAM DRIVE SYSTEM' for accurate feed setting from 1-50 µm in steps of 1 µm which is conveniently located in the front for instant references and its setting is controlled by a knurled knob at the front of the microtome. The interior mechanism rests on heavy metal base and is covered with a full protective cover for easier cleaning and lubrication. The salient features include independent feed mechanism with automatic safety device, universal knife holder with lateral movements permitting use of the entire knife edge, universal vice type object holder for accurate centring of the specimen. The instrument ensures life -long smooth operation. Individual components are fabricated and assembled using latest technology and selected material. The knife supplied with the microtome is fabricated from imported fine grain steel tested for micro-structure and is heat treated for optimum rigidity and sharpness.
