automatedfor researchprogrammable

The Leica VT1000 S vibrating blade microtome is the instrument of choice for high-quality sectioning requirements in neurophysiology, neuropathology experimental pathology ), Botany (roots and plants) and Industry (foams). When sectioning fixed tissue for specific neuropathology tests the Leica VT1000 S consistently provides high-quality sectioning results. General Maximum specimen size: - 70 x 40 x 15 mm Blade travel speed: - 0.025 - 2.5 mm/s Adjustable cutting window: - electronic Total vertical specimen stroke: - 15 mm Magnification options: - 2x magnifier Amplitude: - 0.2; 0.4; 0.6; 0.8; 1.0 mm Total vertical specimen stroke: - 15 mm (motorized) standard Sectioning range: - 1 to 40 mm (adjustable) Can alter the frequency and amplitude To quickly accommodate different application needs, a user can alter the frequency between 0 and 100Hz and select the appropriate amplitude between 0.2 to 1mm in 0.2mm steps. Adjustable knife advance speed The instrument features a very fine adjustable knife advance speed between 0.025 to 2.5mm/s, a programmable sectioning window, and specimen retraction. Fully automated cut mode Accelerate the sectioning process: the Leica VT1000 S features a high-speed knife return stroke as well as a freely programmable sectioning window which ensures extremely quick sectioning of even the smallest specimens. High quality sectioning An adjustable specimen retraction feature minimizes specimen damage during the return stroke of the knife.
