FAQ for Rotary Microtome NRME-101
1: How precise is the specimen feeding and slicing?
The specimen feeding system utilizes advanced no-wheel micro-transmission technology, ensuring highly precise movements. This leads to consistent and accurate sectioning results every time, which is essential for detailed work.
2: What kind of specimens can the Rotary Microtome NRME-101 handle?
The Rotary Microtome supports various specimen sizes with adjustable cassettes and C clamps, allowing secure fixation of different types. It also offers 8° horizontal and vertical positioning adjustments for precise alignment. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of laboratory applications.
3: What makes the Rotary Microtome NRME-101 easy to operate?
The Rotary Microtome features an ergonomically designed one-step injection-molded housing that provides comfortable handling. The handwheel is smooth and balanced, making slicing effortless and precise. Its intuitive controls and fast trimming function allow users to quickly switch between sectioning and trimming modes without hassle.
4: How does the Rotary Microtome NRME-101 reduce vibration and noise?
The structural design minimizes resonance and lowers frictional resistance, resulting in quieter operation. This is particularly beneficial in a lab environment where low noise is important for concentration and comfort. The smooth mechanical drive system also contributes to silent and vibration-free performance.
5: How does the Rotary Microtome protect delicate samples during slicing?
The specimen retraction function automatically pulls the sample back from the blade after each cut, preventing scratches and damage. This helps maintain the integrity of fragile specimens and ensures clean, intact sections for analysis.
