Description
The YR421 manual microtome integrates advanced international technology and design, equipped with high-precision roller guide rails to ensure high-precision operation. This device offers stable performance and comfortable, flexible operation. Additionally, it minimizes abrasion, producing continuous high-quality sections comparable to those of well-known imported brands. These features make the YR421 an ideal device for histological and pathological applications.
The YR421 allows for adjustment of section thickness in a range of 0 to 500 μm, with a minimum setting of 1 μm. Its specimen holder can rotate at any angle within 360 degrees and has an XY-8° sample orientation. The total horizontal sample feed is 28 mm, while the vertical sample stroke is 60 mm. Additionally, the range of movement of the BladeHolder base is 0-50 mm (front to back), allowing manipulation of samples up to 50 × 60 mm. With a precision error of ±5%, this microtome ensures precise and uniform cuts.
Market Price
