The fully automatic Microtome KD-3398 provides utmost reliability, user benefit and outstanding operator comfort. The high section stability and precision turn this instrument into an universal multipurpose microtome for highest demands on sectioning paraffin as well as for hard sectioning technique in biology, medicine and industry. The cutting motor drive allows precise sectioning, ensuring good reproducibility. Another user-friendly feature is the cutting window that can be adjusted to the specimen size, while the preselected speed is only applied within the cutting window. This enables the user to section delicate specimens precisely in a short period of time. Features: ◆ This machine uses a streamlined design, with advanced features, stable and reliable performance and ease of use; ◆ The feeding system uses an intelligent control mechanism; enabling quick switching between manual or automated smart sectioning modes; automatic slicing speed is adjustable; ◆ Advanced drive systems and multiple functions including sectioning, trimming, fast forward, fast backward, quick mode conversion including automatic retraction; ◆ Incorporates an international advanced screw motion mechanism to ensure precision, thus achieving superior sectioning performance; ◆ Pure-green digital display of slice thickness, trimming thickness, slice count and slice speed; ◆ Trimming and slicing are operated under a control system, and can be switched easily. The automated slicing controller can be equipped at either the left or right side; when automated slicing controller is off, semi-auto slicing or trimming can still be performed; ◆ Automatic sectioning speed is continuously adjustable ◆ With safety and emergency braking systems, security alarm systems, driver overload protection and an auto-sleep protection system; ◆ Features easy and fast switching between different specimen clamps (two options: paraffin block clamp and cassette clamp); ◆ Hand-wheel balance is precisely adjusted and can be locked at any position to ensure safety of operation; ◆ Blade holder can be laterally moved to avoid moving the blade with direct contact, thereby enabling use of the entire length of the blade. (three different segments); ◆ The red protection bar on the blade holder covers the whole length of blade to protect the user and the push bar enables easy changing of the blade; ◆ Hand-wheel balance is precisely adjusted and can be locked at any position to ensure the safety and convenience of sectioning; ◆ Large-volume waste tray is easy to remove, and items such as deposable blades can be stored on the top of the housing.
