Senior Precision Rotary Microtome

About Senior Precision Rotary Microtome

• DDR International Rotary Microtome Model BSC-20 is a highly versatile sectioning device suitable for Medical Institutions, Research & Pathological Laboratories.
• This microtome has special application for cutting thin sections of histopathological specimens and also caters to the demands of industries such as Plastic, Leather, Textiles, Rubber & Fertilizer.
• It is ideal for those who want to avail advantages of a Rotary Microtome at a moderate cost.
• The entire mechanism stands on a heavy cast iron base ensuring stability and rigidity.
• Its compound slideways of critical tolerances guide the specimen block.
• The metal hinged cover housing protects the internal mechanism against dust and paraffin waste, it can be conveniently opened for resetting, cleaning and lubricating.
• The Microtome is driven by a handle which can also be locked.
• Cutting sections are obtained in different thickness by mechanically operated crank through a knurled knob in front of the instrument.
• The knurled knob is graduated in microns for feed setting and ready reference.
• A detent click action ensures positive adjustments in one micron increment.
• The knife holder unit is equipped with a rotating knife clamp to adjust desired angles for best sectioning.
• It has forward and backward movements to ensure contact of the specimen with the knife and lateral movement to get maximum use of knife-edge.
• Smooth & accurate specimen movement is achieved with the time has proven operating principles of the feed mechanism.
• Travel is entirely independent of the vertical movement of the specimen block.
• When the feed limit reaches to an endpoint, it disengages itself.
• To bring the feed screw back, the vice is pressed slightly and the main gear wheel is turned clockwise until the screw reaches its starting position.
• All parts are fabricated from selected alloys and the Microtome knife is manufactured from fine grain steel tested to maintain optimum sharpness strength
