The latest designed light weight protective cover is hinged to the base and swings back so that the interior parts will be completely exposed for convenient cleaning, lubrication & setting etc. The feed mechanism is dependent on the vertical movement of the object block. With every complete revolution of the counter balanced drive wheel, the feed pawl engages precisely on to the teeth of the ratchet gear which moves forward and advances the object holder through a cone, inclined plane mechanism in such a precise increments that tissues can be sectioned even in one micron thickness. Well designed features for precise and accurate serial sectioning, with feed setting visible from front, improved locking device and counter balanced wheel. Feed is adjustable from 1 to 50 microns in steps of 1 micron. Free up and down movement of object clamp. Automatic restricted total excursion of 28 mm by disengaging the feed mechanism to prevent jamming.
