Myr M-240 Semi-Automated Rotary Microtome
MES Exclusive Line
The Myr M-240 rotary microtome is engineered for precision, ergonomics, and reliability in histology, pathology, and research laboratories. This advanced microtome combines state-of-the-art technology with a user-friendly touchscreen interface, enabling smooth sectioning of diverse specimens with exceptional control and repeatability. Built for both routine and specialized applications, it delivers performance that meets demanding laboratory standards.
Key Features:
-
Full-Color 7" Touchscreen – Intuitive projected capacitive user interface displays section mode, trimming thickness, section counter, remaining travel, retraction, coarse feed, and memory functions.
-
Precision Sectioning Control – Adjustable section thickness from 0.5 μm to 100 μm with multiple fine increments for high-accuracy cuts.
-
Memory Function for Productivity – Store and recall specimen positions when working with uniform paraffin embedded tissue, with optional safety distance for secure block changes.
-
Motorized Specimen Feed – Continuous and step modes allow precise forward and reverse feed, with selectable speeds for safe approach.
-
Specimen Orientation System – X/Y axis ±8° with click-stop at 0° and full 360° rotation on the Z-axis for accurate alignment.
-
Ergonomic Counterweight Handwheel – Perfectly balanced for smooth clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, minimizing user fatigue.
-
Antistatic Waste Tray – Prevents paraffin adhesion, includes tool storage area, and supports quick cleanup.
-
Knife Carrier System – Accepts low- and high-profile blades with lateral displacement and integrated finger guard for user safety.
