The fully automated Leica RM2255 microtome embodies the latest technological innovations in microtomy and perfectly harmonizes practical features with an ergonomic design and user safety. Its two-in-one design concept, which allows motorized as well as manual sectioning, provides reproducible, quality sections. Features: Compact, ergonomic design Ergonomically designed handwheel handle Smooth-running handwheel with integrated quick-lock mechanism for safety Enclosed micrometer feed mechanism Low-maintenance cross-roller bearings Two forward and backward coarse feed speeds Alternate trimming and sectioning modes, as indicated on the display Speed control through the cutting window for enhanced efficiency Automatic, variable specimen retraction, depending on sectioning speed Section thickness totalizer and section counter Intuitive control panel Integrated communication display Precise specimen orientation with zero point reference Knife holder design with red colored knife guard Precise lateral knife holder adjustment with click stop settings Spacious and easy-to-clean section waste tray Wide range of accessories   Technical Specifications: Section thickness Setting thickness setting range: 0.5 – 100 µm Setting values: from 0.5 – 5 µm in 0.5 µm increments from 5 – 20 µm in 1 µm increments from 20 – 60 µm in 5 µm increments from 60 – 100 µm in 10 µm increments Trimming section thickness setting range: 1 – 600 µm Setting values: from 1 – 10 µm in 1 µm increments from 10 – 20 µm in 2 µm increments from 20 – 50 µm in 5 µm increments from 50 – 100 µm in 10 µm increments from 100 – 600 µm in 50 µm increments Object feed:  24 mm ± 1 mm, feed motion via step motor Vertical specimen stroke:  70 mm Sectioning modes:  4   Specimen retraction: In manual operation:  5 – 100 µm in 5 µm increments, can be turned off In motorized operation:  varying with the sectioning speed, can be turned of Electric coarse feed: 300 µm/s and 800 µm/s Sectioning speed: 0.5 – 420 mm/s ± 10% Maximum specimen size (L x H x W): 50 x 60 x 40 mm Specimen orientation horizontal: ±8°, vertical: ±8° Nominal supply voltages: 100/120/230/240 V AC ± 10% Nominal frequency: 50/60 Hz Power draw: 340 VA   Dimensions basic instrument Width (incl. handwheel):  413 mm Depth (incl. waste tray): 618 mm Height (with storage area on cover): 305 mm Weight (without accessories): Approx. 40 kg   Dimensions control panel: W x D x H 121 x 166 x 50 mm Weight: approx. 0.66 kg, approx. 1.45 Ibs Click Here To Download Catalogue
