AEM 460 Semi-automatic Microtome

AEM 460 is a semi-automated rotary microtome, this robust instrument be used for cutting harder materials. The unique user-friendly display panel and most comfortable separated handpad perfectly suitabled for those who expect precision section and appreciate the feel . Two forward/backward speed can be selected . The specimen retraction can be switched On/Off by user and the specimen retraction is also adjustable. The advanced feed function allows user quickly move to a memoried cutting position , this perfect function is designed for cutting a large number standard cassettes .
