An ideal instrument for use in biological educational field engaged in research work. Heavy cast base to ensure rigidity and stability with protecting aluminium housing. The feed mechanism is independent of the vertical movement of the object block with evry complete revolution of the counter balanced drive wheel, the feed pawl engaged precisely into the teeth of the ratchet wheel, feeding on the forward stroke. The. ratchet wheel rotates a feed screw which advance. the cone a measure distance from left to right across the face of a vertical moving inclined plane, Compound side way provide. smooth accurate object traval. 111 the microtome automatic feed release device is provided which disengages the mechanism automatically and feed is adjustable with the help of knurled knob at the back of microtome from', to 50 microns in step of 1 micron The feed indicator graduated in micron is conveniently located on the front which works with the help of cord and pulley system. A locking device which locks the counter balance device wheel securely the object blocks stop at the top of its excursion so that sufficient space for orientation and fixing of blocks is obtained. Ball and flange type object clamp which accomo date specimen upto 32x27mm. 3 screw locate and rigidly lock the object clamp into the position. The microtome is finished in chemically resistant paint and hard chrome to the ether parts. Complete with the following accessories:
a) One microtome knife 120 mm with
b) Back and handle.
c) Three b I 0 c k (object) holders.
d) One set L-moulds
