RH Fully Automatic Microtome 553AT
RH scientific RH 553 AT
The Fully Automatic Microtome RH 553 AT provides utmost reliability, user benefit and outstanding operator comfort. Great basic stability and precision, make this microtome a real multi-purpose instrument that meets the requirements both in paraffin and hard sectioning .
The microtome is ideal for most routine histology, biological and industrial needs. High precision & stability ensures exact reproducible section quality in wax and plastic embedded sections.
Features.
Visual pointer
- » Designed with the visual pointer on precise positioning
system, easy to adjust the sample to the target angle,
reducing trimming and sample waste. - » Adjust multiple devices to the same angle easily
and quickly.


Section
- » It is stable and maintains slice consistency.
- » No extra skills required, easy to complete the operation.
Product specifications :
- Fully automatic or manual model,Its two-in-one design concept, which allows motorized and manual sectioning,
provides reproducible high-quality sections.
- Adopted Germany stepper Motor and motor drive ensure slice more precisely ,more reliable and quiet.
- The touch screen shows slice and trimming thickness ,section counter ,mode and speed, stroke distance
- Special function of specimen retraction which avoid the damage due to the attrition between sample and the back of
knife so that the sectioning is more smooth and the life of the knife is more longer .
- Model of Blade Carrier for High or Lower Disposable Blades
- The hand wheel can be locked in any position to ensure the sectioning as safe and convenient as possible
- The waste tray can be disassembled easily
- Safety alarm system , overload protection function, sleep mode protection
- Universal cassette clamp and standard specimen clamp
- Optional Blade carrier which can use Steel Knife or Blade Holder
- Emergency stop
- Foot Switch to control the Section
- Easy operation with Separated Control Panel
- Universal cassette clamp and standard specimen clamp
- The waste tray can be disassembled easily
- Sample orientation:8°along the X-Y-axis, rotate 360°
- Safety alarm system, overload protection function, sleep mode protection
- Universal cassette clamp and standard specimen clamp
- The special blade carrier can use high profile blade or low profile blade
