Product Description
Sliding Microtome Model RMT - 45 is a standard sectioning instrument especially designed for Research Laboratories for cutting sections of paraffin as well as celloidin embedded specimens.
Sliding Microtome is having the advantage of vertical object feed by Micrometer Screw and Cylinder so rigidly held that perfect immobility under the knife is ensured, even when cutting relatively large, hard and in homogeneous specimens.
The heavy knife block mounted on slideways can be actuated entirely by hand. The Microtome comprises of a stable heavy cast base stand on a precise sliding track over which slides a sturdy knife holder. Its smooth and efficient operation has a great advantage of vertical object feed. The object holder has rapid vertical adjustment by means of a lever mechanism. Placed below the object holder is a drip pan for excess alcohol or water.
Its knife holder rigidly supports a 120mm knife made from imported fine grain hard tool steel, which ensures accurate sectioning not only of soft tissues but also harder materials such as stem, root and other objects etc.
Sliding Microtome is recommended to the labs where sections of fairly large specimens are required.

Purpose and ApplicationThe SLIDING MICROTOME RMT-45 is tailored for researchers and geologists to prepare thin sections of rocks and minerals. It is commonly used in educational settings, laboratories, and by professionals who require accurate mineral analysis. Its precision cutting facilitates in-depth microscopic examination of geological samples.
Efficient Manual OperationWith a manual operating method and a die-cast sturdy build, this microtome provides reliability and precise sectioning control. Users can easily handle the cutting process for consistent thin sections without the need for complex electrical mechanisms.
Advanced Optical SystemThe monocular view head, combined with 40x achromatic objectives and WF 10x eyepieces, ensures clear, distortion-free observation. Coupled with halogen or LED light sources, users can achieve optimal illumination and clarity for mineral studies at up to 400x magnification.
FAQ's of SLIDING MICROTOME RMT-45:
Q: How does the SLIDING MICROTOME RMT-45 support rock and mineral studies?
A: This microtome allows precise sectioning of rock and mineral samples, creating thin slices suitable for microscopic examination. Its dedicated design helps researchers observe structure, composition, and features of geological specimens.
Q: What is the operational process for using the RMT-45 microtome?
A: To use the RMT-45, secure your rock or mineral sample onto the working stage. Using the manual sliding mechanism, carefully advance the stage to produce thin, even slices for analysis. Illumination can be set to halogen or LED based on viewing preference.
Q: When should researchers choose this model for their laboratory?
A: Researchers should select the SLIDING MICROTOME RMT-45 when manual, high-precision rock or mineral sectioning is required, especially in settings with limited electrical resources due to its low power usage and manual operation.
Q: Where is the optimal environment for operating this microtome?
A: The RMT-45 is best suited for geological research laboratories, educational institutions, or industrial environments focused on material science. Its robust construction and stable working stage enable high-accuracy work in controlled settings.
Q: What are the benefits of the manual sliding mechanism of this microtome?
A: The manual operation grants users exceptional control over each cut, allowing for accurate thickness adjustment and reduced risk of sample damage, which is crucial for studying delicate mineralogical structures.
Q: How does the illumination system enhance specimen observation?
A: The combination of halogen and LED light sources provides flexibility for different sample types and preferences, ensuring bright, consistent illumination essential for clear viewing under the microscope.
