About Microtome Sledge Large Cutting
- These cuts sections in the thickness that ranges from 3 to 30 microns
- These are not suitable for cutting very hard resins like araldite due to their risk of vibration
- The sledge microtome is ideal for cutting different material like bone, plastics, resins, wood and large area soft tissues
- Hard material such as wood, bone and leather require a sledge microtome
- These microtomes have heavy blades and cannot cut as thin as a regular microtome
- Special knife for cutting extra hard sections
- Heavy construction for stability and not usually subjected to vibration
- Glide way for convenient movements
- Calibrated veneer type scale for section setting adjustments
- Heavy duty construction base used for knife holder and secure clamp mechanism
