Semi-Automatic Rotatory Microtome 0.5-100µm

The semi-automatic rotary microtome is a laboratory instrument designed to obtain ultra-thin sections of biological samples, offering a high level of precision and control in histology, academic research, and clinical diagnostic applications. Its advance system combines manual operation via a handwheel with motorized displacement controlled by a stepper motor, allowing uniform and reproducible cuts to be made with minimal operator intervention.

The equipment allows working in a cutting thickness range between 0.5 µm and 100 µm, with different adjustment levels that facilitate adaptation to different sample preparation protocols. Furthermore, it incorporates a trimming function adjustable between 5 µm and 500 µm, which allows material to be removed in a controlled manner to condition the specimen before fine cutting, improving the final quality of the sections obtained.

The integrated touch interface allows intuitive configuration of operational parameters, including cutting thickness, trimming level, sample holder displacement, and cut count. This system facilitates continuous monitoring of the process and improves efficiency in daily work.

Its robust structure and highly stable base reduce vibrations during operation, guaranteeing precision in every cut. The blade holder is adjustable and allows the inclination of the edge to be regulated in an approximate range of 0° to 14°, optimizing the cutting quality according to the characteristics of the material.

The ergonomic handwheel allows precise manual control of the advance, while the positioning systems ensure correct alignment between the sample and the blade. This combination of manual control and partial automation provides an optimal balance between precision, safety, and ease of use.

This microtome constitutes an advanced solution for laboratories that require high accuracy in sample preparation, offering versatility, operational control, and reliability in complex histological processes.
