The Sliding Microtome is used to process animal and humantissues automatically. It is accurate and easy to use and maintain. It is an excellent choice for histology and pathology labs ofhospitals and research institutions.

The Erma Type Microtome is a precision laboratory instrument used for cutting extremely thin sections of biological tissue for microscopic examination in histology and pathology laboratories. It is designed with a robust and stable mechanism that ensures smooth operation and accurate section thickness for consistent sample preparation. The microtome is equipped with a precision feed mechanism, specimen holder, and sharp cutting blade system to produce uniform sections suitable for research, diagnostic, and educational applications. Its durable construction and user-friendly design make it ideal for hospitals, medical colleges, pathology labs, and research institutions.

The Erma-type microtome works on the rotary principle. The tissue block is fixed in a specimen holder, and a handwheel is rotated to move the specimen vertically against a stationary knife. With each rotation, the specimen advances by a set thickness, allowing smooth and uniform sections to be cut. It is known for its accuracy, compact design, and ease of use.

Main parts:

• Handwheel

• Specimen holder (object clamp)

• Knife or blade

• Thickness adjustment knob

• Feed mechanism

• Base and frame

Uses:

• Preparation of thin tissue sections (about 1–10 µm)

• Routine work in histology and pathology laboratories

• Suitable for paraffin-embedded tissues

Advantages:

• High precision and uniform sections

• Easy to operate and maintain

• Compact and stable design

 

A rotary microtome works by moving the tissue block up and down against a fixed knife using a rotating handwheel. With each rotation, the specimen advances by a very small, precisely controlled distance, allowing thin sections (usually 1–10 micrometers thick) to be cut smoothly and consistently. These thin sections are then placed on microscope slides for staining and observation.

Main parts:

• Handwheel – rotates to move the tissue block

• Specimen holder (object clamp) – holds the tissue block (often embedded in paraffin wax)

• Knife or blade – sharp cutting edge for slicing tissue

• Thickness adjustment knob – controls the thickness of sections

• Base and frame – provide stability and precision

Uses:

• Commonly used in histology and pathology laboratories

• Preparation of tissue sections for light microscopy

• Useful for studying cell structure, tissue organization, and disease diagnosis

Key features:

• Produces very thin and even sections

• High precision and control

• Suitable for routine laboratory work

 

The rotary senior microtome operates on the rotary principle, where a handwheel is rotated to move the tissue block vertically against a fixed knife. With each turn of the handwheel, the specimen advances by a predetermined thickness, allowing uniform sections to be cut. Compared to a standard rotary microtome, the senior model is larger, stronger, and more stable, making it suitable for harder tissues and prolonged use.

Main parts:

• Handwheel

• Specimen holder (object clamp)

• Knife or disposable blade

• Thickness adjustment mechanism

• Feed mechanism

• Heavy base and rigid frame

Uses:

• Cutting sections of large or hard tissue blocks

• Widely used in histopathology and research laboratories

• Suitable for routine and advanced tissue sectioning

Advantages:

• Produces accurate, uniform sections

• Strong and durable construction

• Better stability for tough specimens
