Leica RM2245

Overview

The design and technology of the RM2245 rotary microtome utilize the patented balancing system first introduced in the Leica RM 2135 microtome. A precision step motor is used for convenient and accurate specimen advance so that the section thickness remains consistent at any setting. In addition, the Leica RM2245 is the first semi-motorized microtome where the sample is advanced and retracted without having to turn the handwheel completely (i.e. rocking/ ergomode). The knife holder system for disposable blades has been re-engineered. The Leica RM2245 is equipped with an all-new specimen orientation system, a new waste tray in a new one-piece housing with modern appealing design.
