Kalstein's rotary microtome has many great features that makes it the ideal item to haven in your histology lab. Streamlined housing not only improves the appearance but also facilitates the cleaning process without the need to open the housing. This model uses imported cross-roller guide rails and a screw motion mechanism to ensure precision resulting in superior sectioning performance. Its advanced high-precision micro-drive feed system enables even and high precision sectioning. This model has a hand-wheel that is rotated based on a mechanical balance mechanism, and can be locked at any position, providing the maximum level of safety and convenience. The cassette holder can be locked at any position along each of the three axes, enabling easy adjustment of the specimen-sectioning angle.
There are multiple functions including specimen retraction and trimming functions, along with replaceable specimen holding system. In addition, the small coarse-advance hand-wheel is close to the operator, in accordance with an ergonomic design. The precise positioning system is not only easy to use, but also provides accurate X- and Y- axis adjustment. The blade holder can be laterally moved and adjusted, without the need to manually move the blade, that way it enables the use of the full length of the blade (slicing at three different segments). Hand-wheel balance is precisely adjusted and can be locked at any position to ensure the safety and convenience of sectioning.
