Over 40 Years of Combined Experience in Histology

Microm HM520

  • Open top model

.

  • Cryostat housing can be moved by means of steering rollers that can be fixed. 

 

  • Retractable handle on the front side of the cryostat for easy transportation.
  • Spacious stainless steel cryo chamber with even surfaces and drain system, easy to clean and disinfect.

 

  • Temperature control of the cryo chamber continuously from +5° to -30°C (HM 525: +5º to -35ºC). 

 

  • Storage possibility for labelled slides as well as for staining cuvettes on top of the cryostat.

 

  •  Large storage shelves inside the cryo chamber for additional chucks and heat extractor. 

 

  • Electronical control via touchpad keyboard for the setting of all parameters, e.g. section thicknesses and temperatures.

 

  • Indication of preset and actual temperature.

 

  • Programmable "memory” function for the fast, automatic finding of the first cut position.

 

  • Automatic 24-h-defroster with additional interrupt key. 

 

  • Active fast freezing device with max. 27 stations down to -35°C for the storage of chucks (4 Peltier supported stations up to -60ºC on HM 525). 
  • Heated sliding window. 

 

  • Removable section waste tray and brush shelf. 

 

  • Cold-light lamp for cryo chamber with separate on/off switch. 

 

  • Rotary microtome with backlash and maintenance free cross roller bearings in stainless steel with slot cover. 

 

  • Specimen retraction with return travel.

 

  •  Feed system via precise stepping motor technology. 

 

  • Settings from outside via ergonomical touchpad keyboard
