Description

Rotary Microtome TRANALAB Series 1500 adopts advanced guide ways, high-strength alloy steel materials, ideal devise. It’s very suitable for cutting fiber, plastic, bone, plant, hair and other hard specimens.

A microtome is a specialized precision cutting instrument, which accurately and repeatedly slices sections from a block of embedded tissue. Different kinds of microtomes are used to section paraffin and plastic embedded tissues as well as the specialized microtomes used to section frozen tissues. Rotary Microtome – It is most commonly used microtome. This device operates with a staged rotary action such that the actual cutting is part of the rotary motion. In a rotary microtome, the knife is typically fixed in a horizontal position.
