Product Overview
Labotemp Manual Rotary Microtome ROM-04 is a hand-operated rotary microtome for routine tissue sectioning in histopathology, diagnostic and teaching laboratories. It provides controlled manual sectioning with an adjustable thickness range of 0.5–60 µm and a secure blade holder suitable for paraffin‑embedded specimens.

Key Benefits

• Precise thickness control for reproducible serial sections.
• Stable specimen movement and low vibration for accurate cuts.
• Secure lateral blade adjustment for consistent sectioning.
• Removable wide waste tray for easy cleaning and maintenance.
• Handwheel drive with dual locking for safe manual operation.

Features

• Manual rotary mechanism driven by handwheel (no motor).
• Adjustable section thickness: 0–60 µm (alternate listing 0.5–60 µm); fine settings as specified below.
• Section thickness setting: 0–2 µm in 0.5 µm increments; 2–10 µm in 1 µm increments; 10–20 µm in 2 µm increments; 20–60 µm in 5 µm increments.
• Horizontal specimen stroke: 0–28 mm; Vertical specimen stroke: 52 mm.
• ±1% precision error for consistent sectioning.
• 360° specimen rotation with 8° X–Y orientation adjustment.
• Maximum section size: 60 × 55 mm.
• Fine trimming control combined with a coarse feed wheel.
