Overview
Labotemp Manual Rotary Microtome ROM-05 is a precision manual rotary microtome designed for controlled tissue sectioning in histopathology, diagnostic and research laboratories. The device provides an adjustable section thickness range of 0–60 µm with a minimum setting of 1 µm. A precision screw-feed mechanism and imported cross-roller guide rails deliver stable, repeatable cuts. Supports specimen blocks up to 60 × 50 mm and offers high- or low-profile rigid blade holder options for standard disposable blades.

Specimen handling
The ROM-05 accommodates trimming and serial sectioning with 28 mm horizontal feed and 70 mm vertical feed. It features a rigid blade holder compatible with standard disposable microtome blades, easy switching between specimen clamps, and a large magnetic waste tray for convenient removal of shavings.
