With smooth movement of the sledge, precision specimen orientation, and emphasis on safety and ergonomics, the SM2010 R produces high quality sections for routine histopathology (paraffin), neuroscience (fixed frozen brain) and industrial applications (foam and wood). The stable sliding microtome has a totally enclosed micrometer feeding system with an ergonomically positioned specimen head close to the user. The smooth running sledge can be locked in 11 positions by using the easily accessible sledge brake. Maximum specimen size with standard clamp: 79 x 60 mm (L x W) Maximum specimen size with universal cassette clamp: 40 x 29 mm (L x W) Specimen feed: approx. 50 mm Clearance angle adjustment: -3° to +10° Section thickness range: 0.5 to 60 µm from 0.5 to 5 ?m in 0.5-?m increments from 5 to 10 ?m in 1-?m increments from 10 to 20 ?m in 2-?m increments from 20 to 60 ?m in 5-?m increments Specimen orientation: ±8° Declination: 0° to 45° in sectioning direction Dimensions: 390 x 430 x 343 mm (W x D x H) Working height: 255 mm (measured from the table) Weight: approx. 24 kg
