Cutting histological tissue requires advanced tools to ensure high-quality sections, guarantee safe operations for technicians, and provide efficient workflow. Milestone’s rotary microtomes have been built to address all these challenges.
The HistoDream microtomes are designed to guarantee precise sectioning. The 0-position is easily identified on the orienting head to ensure correct positioning. At the same time, the 360° orientating head along with the mobility on both the x- and y-axis ensures superior precision and alignment of the block. The blade holder slides sideways in both directions, enabling the technician to take full advantage of the entire cutting edge.
Milestone’s microtomes provide superior sectioning efficiency. To simplify the adjustment, the motorized specimen feed is controlled through the wide touchscreen and stabilized via an innovative antivibration mechanism. A spacious tray with antistatic coating offers a large space for paraffin waste, reducing and simplifying cleaning time. On the top of the microtomes, a large flat area allows space for storage and access to tools routinely used.
Milestone’s microtome line incorporates up-to-date features for the highest operational safety. The automated microtome is equipped with an emergency stop button and an electrical brake that activates automatically when cutting is paused. Both the automated and semiautomated microtomes offer a manual lock. Safety is also ensured with the blade holder’s integrated finger guard.
