A semi-automatic microtome is used to cut extremely thin sections (slices) of tissue from a paraffin-embedded block for microscopic examination.

Features：

---

1.Adopt semi‑automatic rotary sectioning mode.

2.Equipped with a 5‑inch high‑definition color touch screen with Chinese‑English bilingual menus, which controls section thickness, trimming thickness, section counting, fast forward, fast reverse and mode switching functions.

3.High‑precision feeding system ensures sectioning accuracy up to 0.1 μm.

4.Dual‑feed system: dual feeding modes including mechanical handwheel and electric buttons.

5.Unique functions of rapid sample retraction and position memory.

6.The specimen holder can be rotated and fixed at any angle within 360°.

7.Knife holder functions: precise lateral movement of the blade, blade angle adjustable from 0° to 15°. Narrow and wide disposable blades are interchangeable on the knife holder. A red blade guard with blade‑ejecting function covers the entire cutting edge, effectively protecting operators during sectioning and paraffin block replacement.

8.Optional specimen holders: paraffin block holder / standard embedding cassette holder.

9.Section thickness setting range: 0~100 μm; Maximum section area: 60×48 mm. Specimen adjustment with zero‑position indicator: horizontally adjustable 0°‑10°, vertically adjustable 0°‑10°, 360° rotatable.

10.Maximum vertical displacement of sample: 70 mm; Maximum horizontal displacement of sample: 28 mm±1 mm.
