Thermo Scientific Shandon Finesse ME+ Microtome

Description

The Thermo Shandon Finesse ME+ Microtome is a precision rotary instrument designed for accuracy, efficiency, and comfort. It’s ideal for both routine and research histology applications. This robust microtome delivers smooth, reproducible sectioning across a variety of tissue types, from soft biological samples to hard embedded materials. It features a total specimen advance of 35 mm and a maximum advance speed of 2,400 µm/s for fast, controlled sectioning. A 65 mm cutting stroke provides clean, consistent sections. The section thickness range spans from 0.5 µm to 100 µm, offering great flexibility. For trimming, the range is 2 µm to 100 µm. A retraction range of 0 µm to 125 µm protects both specimen and blade, reducing wear and extending blade life. The design prioritises comfort and usability. The flywheel rotates smoothly, and the clearly marked thickness dial is easy to adjust. An ergonomic layout reduces strain, even with long use. The orientation system ensures precise specimen alignment. A universal cassette clamp supports a wide range of formats. Built with corrosion-resistant materials and a sealed surface, the microtome is easy to clean and maintain. A debris tray keeps the workspace tidy. The anti-roll plate ensures smooth ribboning for high-quality sections. The Finesse ME Plus combines performance and practicality in a compact, reliable form.
