Senior Precision Rotary Microtome RMT-30

Product Description

RADICAL  Senior  Precision  Rotary  Microtome  Model  RMT - 30  is the most  precise and uniform  sectioning equipment for use in Medical Colleges, Universities, Research Laboratories, Hospitals and Educational Institutions.

The internal mechanism and knife holder rests on a heavy-duty and rigid  base to render  a  shake proof operation. 

The Protective aluminium cover is  hinged   to   the base and swings  back  so that  the  interior parts  are completely  exposed   for  convenient  setting,  cleaning,  lubrication  etc.   Feed  mechanism  is  dependent  upon  the  vertical movement of the object block.  With every complete  revolution of the counter balanced drive wheel, the feed pawl engages with the teeth of the ratchet gear which moves towards and advances the object holder through a cone inclined plane mechanism in precise  increments  so  that the tissues can  be sectioned even to a thickness of one micron.  When  the  limit  of  the  feed  reaches  at the  end,  a safety  device  automatically  disengages  the  feed  mechanism  to prevent jamming and avoid damage to the feed screws.

The feed indicator is graduated in microns, is conveniently located in the front for instant references and its setting is controlled by a knurled knob  at  the  back of the microtome.  The  sturdy knife holder, in addition  to  knife elevating and leveling provides lateral movement for complete use of knife edge. The angle,  adjustable up to 30o, is  indicated  on a  reference scale. The  knife  supplied with the Microtome  is  fabricated  from  high carbon fine grain tool steel  which is  heat-treated for proper temper & tested for Micro structures.

A lever is provided to lock counter balanced drive  wheel and specimen block is stopped at the top of its  excursion, providing ample clearance  space  for safety insert  and  removal of knife and block holders. A quick flip of the lever  releases the drive wheel.
