FAQs of Wood Microtome:
Q: How does the adjustable brass specimen holder enhance the microtomes performance?
A: The adjustable brass holder enables secure positioning of different specimen sizes up to 10mm, ensuring stability during sectioning and allowing precise, uniform thin slices.
Q: What is the process for achieving precise section thickness with this wood microtome?
A: Section thickness is controlled via the graduated micro-adjustment scale, allowing users to incrementally advance the specimen for even slices up to 40 microns, ensuring consistent results across samples.
Q: When should a laboratory choose this microtome for its research needs?
A: This microtome is ideal when detailed examination of wood or plant tissues is required, especially for botanical research or laboratory analysis demanding reliable and reproducible fine sectioning.
Q: Where can this wood microtome be used effectively?
A: The instrument is suitable for botanical laboratories, research institutes, and educational settings focused on plant science, natural product analysis, or microscopic tissue examination.
Q: What are the benefits of the rust-resistant powder-coated finish and heavy-duty anti-slip base?
A: The rust-resistant coating protects the microtome from corrosive laboratory environments, while the anti-slip, heavy-duty base ensures operational stability, contributing to safer and more accurate sectioning.
Q: How simple is maintenance and cleaning of the microtome?
A: Maintenance is straightforward, as the devices design allows easy access for cleaning. Routine care involves wiping down surfaces, safely swapping blades, and following the instruction manual provided.
