Utmost flexibility     The microtome, with quick release specimen clamping system, can be equipped with Supermega universalcassette clamp or standard clamp for paraffin blocks. Precise fine orientation allows samples to be accurately aligned with the knife. For critical samples, which usually require reduced cutting force, the knife can be positioned at an angle. An easy-to-clean section waste tray is available as an optional accessory.    

Easy-to-use knife holder     The knife holder is designed to accommodate both standard knives and disposable blades. A magnet on the back ensures safe and easy knife installation, and an integrated knife guard is provided for enhanced safety. The knife or disposable blade holder can be fixed in the holder with minimal time and effort. The line clamping principle ensures the greatest stability and optimum sectioning results. The clearance angle can be adjusted while the knife remains clamped.    

Innovative technology makes your work easier and safer     The Leica SM2000 R has automatic specimen advance that can be adjusted to the size of the sample. This feature is the basis for efficient and rapid sectioning. Operator safety is enhanced by fixing the sledge in the sectioning area before section removal using magnetic force or by positively locking the sledge in any position during section removal. A flexible cover protects the cross roller bearings from section debris…..    

Equipped to suit individual working techniques     The Leica SM2000 R sliding microtome has both automatic (up to 30 Μm) and manual specimen feed via the coarse feed wheel to accommodate different individual needs.    

Variable knife holder position     Four different knife holder positions provide the flexibility to section a variety of specimen sizes and types by altering the inclination angle of the knife.
