The Microm HM355 S is a reliable heavy duty rotary microtome designed for efficient sectioning of paraffin and other hard specimens for biological, medicinal, and industrial applications. The system’s advanced ergonomic design features an integrated armrest for optimal user comfort, and a spacious section waste tray around the knife carrier for direct collection of section waste. Moreover, this high functioning microtome can accommodate all specimen clamps and knife carriers of the rotary microtome HM 300 series.
The HM355 S offers four modes of operation: interval, single, multi, and continuous stroke. The system features an electronically-controlled motor drive with precision tachogenerator which ensures exceptionally fast adjustment to section force variations and uniform cutting speed. This Microm model also employs a motorized coarse feed system which allows forward and backward travel of both continuous and graduated specimen using three different speed settings, as well as easy adjustment of specimen and knife edge distance.
Emergency stop devices of the Microm HM355 S microtome include an electromechanical handwheel brake and handwheel handle.
