Manual Cylinder Microtome MT.5500/MT.5501
Manual cylinder microtome for preparation of histological specimen for microscope/ height adjustable blade/ round table/ planar concave knife and wooden box, depending on model / compact shape

The term microtomy stands for the use of a microtome. The manual cylinder microtome cuts wafer-thin specimens for microscopes, and it is an indispensable equipment for every laboratory. The manual cylinder microtome can prepare very fine samples, which can then be examined under a microscope. The manual cylinder microtome is applicable in various areas, e.g. the analysis of industrial material (plastic, wood, …), as well as in the fields of biology and medicine. For example, the manual cylinder microtome can cut wafer-thin tissue samples for a later analysis. Usually, biological and medical substrates are prepared before they are cut by the manual cylinder microtome, that is to say they are usually hardened with special liquids, in a process named embedding. There are various models in our assortment, including the MT.5500 and the MT.5501. The typical thickness of such a sample lies between 0.2 and 100 µm. The manual cylinder microtome is suitable for various uses due to the fact that it is suitable for many different materials. It is characterised by its robust and compact build and easy operation. The width of the glass plate amounts to 70 mm. The table clamp MT.5504 is included in the equipment of the microtome and can be used to fix the microtome to a table.
