With smooth movement of the sledge, precision specimen orientation, and emphasis on safety and ergonomics, the Leica SM2010 R produces high quality sections for routine histopathology (paraffin), neuroscience (fixed frozen brain) and industrial applications (foam and wood).
The stable sliding microtome has a totally enclosed micrometer feeding system with an ergonomically positioned object head close to the user. The smooth running sledge can be locked in 11 positions by using the easily accessible sledge brake.
Quick release system for specimen clamps allows operator to quickly and easily change from one clamp to another, resulting in improved workflow.
Large volume antistatic section waste tray with area for tools allows collection of large volume of waste and ease of cleaning due to the antistatic surface, results in improved workflow and efficiency.
Blade life is extended by a simple and safe lateral displacement function, resulting in cost-savings for the laboratory.
