Selection Guide for Automatic Microtome
When selecting Automatic Microtome, customers should consider its versatile sectioning capabilities, which include a sectioning range of 0 to 100 µm and a section thickness range of 0.5 µm to 100 µm, with an optimal slicing performance between 3 to 5 µm for high-quality tissue samples. Its trimming range of 0 to 600 µm allows efficient removal of surrounding material, while a whole-layer clearance distance of 10 to 6000 µm supports deeper sectioning needs. The specimen orientation feature offers 8° adjustment on both X and Y axes and ±90° rotational movement, ensuring precise alignment for uniform and accurate sections. These features collectively make the microtome suitable for clinical diagnostics, research applications, and advanced histological procedures requiring precision, speed, and repeatability.
