Leica RM2245 Microtome

Description

The Leica RM2245 is a semi-motorized rotary microtome used worldwide in histology and pathology laboratories. The system combines the control of manual sectioning with the precision of a motorized specimen feeder, resulting in consistent and reproducible sections. The RM2245 is therefore an ideal solution for: Histopathology Routine histology Research laboratories Industrial quality control 🔬 Technical specifications ⚙️ Cutting performance Cutting thickness: 0.5 – 100 µm Trimming thickness: 1 – 600 µm Setting steps: 0.5 – 5 µm (0.5 µm steps) 5 – 20 µm (1 µm steps) 20 – 60 µm (5 µm steps) 60 – 100 µm (10 µm steps) 🔄 Mechanics & movement Vertical stroke: 70 mm Sample feed: ±24 mm (driven by stepper motor) Retraction: 5 – 100 µm adjustable Cutting modes: Manual (full rotation) Bang mode (short distance) 🧠 Features Motorized precision feed (stepper motor) Programmable retraction STEP trim function Section counter and totalizer Position memory (memory function) Visual and audible warnings Ergonomic design with balance system 🔩 Sample and clamps Maximum sample size: approx. 50 × 60 × 40 mm Orientation: Horizontal: ±8° Vertical: ±8° Blade holder: suitable for high and low profile disposable blades 📐 Dimensions and weight Dimensions (W × D × H): 477 × 620 × 295 mm Weight: ±31 kg
