About Digital Microtome
Digital MicrotomeIt is a universally approved, most modern and reliable sectioning equipment designed for very precise sectioning of tissues upto 1 micron thickness. The feed indicator, located in front of microtome is operated by the latest 'CAM DRIVE SYSTEM' for accurate feed setting from 1-50 microns in steps of one micron. It is graduated in microns, is conveniently located in the front for instant references and its setting is controlled by a knurled knob at the back of the microtomes. The interior mechanism rests on a heavy cast iron base and is covered with a full swing protective cover for easier cleaning and lubrication. The Salient featurs include independent feed mechanism with automatic safty device,universal knife holder with lateralmovements permitting use of the entire knife edge,universal vice type object holder for accurate centring of the specimen. The instrument ensures life -long smooth operation .Individual components are fabricated and assembled using latest technology and selected materials. The knife supplied with the microtome is fabricated from imported fine grain steel tested for micro-structure and is heat treated for optimum rigidity and sharpness.

FAQs of Digital Microtome:
Q: How is section thickness adjusted on the Digital Microtome?
A: Section thickness is set digitally using the LCD touch display, with a range from 1 to 60 m and adjustments precise to within 0.5 m. This allows for flexible and accurate sample preparation.
Q: What safety features are integrated into the Digital Microtome?
A: This microtome includes an emergency stop button and a protective safety cover, ensuring operator safety. Automatic specimen retraction also helps prevent sample and instrument damage during use.
Q: When should the specimen retraction function be used?
A: Automatic specimen retraction operates during routine cutting to minimize the risk of specimen damage and prolong blade life. It is particularly beneficial when slicing delicate or valuable tissue samples.
Q: Where can the Digital Microtome be utilized?
A: It is well-suited for medical laboratories, histopathology departments, and research institutions. Its robust design and high throughput capacity make it suitable for demanding environments that require precise and reliable sectioning of tissue samples.
Q: What process controls does the microtome offer to operators?
A: Operators can control section thickness, trimming speed, and cut stroke length digitally. The variable speed control and touch-based interface streamline the workflow and adapt to sample requirements.
Q: How does the memory function benefit laboratory workflows?
A: The memory function stores the last used operational settings, enabling quick and consistent setup for recurrent sectioning tasks. This reduces set-up time and maintains workflow continuity across multiple sessions.
