About This Product
Each complete turn of the drive wheel brings the feed panel into the teeth of the ratchet wheel, which advances the object holder through a cone and inclined plane mechanism. Sections can be set between 1 and 50 micron on this Biology Lab Equipment microtome, and a safety device disengages the feed automatically. The heavy base has a hinged cover over the mechanism and knife holder, and the supplied 120 mm razor can be tilted up to 30º on a reference scale.
