Remanufactured Microm HM 355 S3 Automated Microtome | Medical Equipment Source
The Microm HM 355 microtome combines manual or motorized sectioning with a menu-driven control panel, joystick specimen advance, and a user-selected cutting window that boosts throughput by returning faster than the cutting stroke. Safety and ergonomics lead the class, with a double-tap motor start, one-handed zero-orientation head, and an emergency stop that immediately cuts power to the motor. Each remanufactured unit delivers automated performance at a fraction of the cost of new.
Key Features:
-
Menu-driven control panel usable from either side; display shows cutting speed, section count, section thickness, and advance distance
-
Four cutting modes: single, interval, multi, and continuous
-
User-selected cutting window that maximizes throughput by returning faster than the optimized cutting stroke
-
Manual and/or foot-pedal control with double-tap start to activate the sectioning motor
-
Joystick control for specimen advance and rewind; one-handed zero-orientation head
-
Instant switch between trim and section settings with independently selectable trim and section speeds
-
Rock option advances the specimen head by a set amount to trim without turning the hand wheel through full turns
-
Selectable specimen retraction (40 microns) to protect samples and the blade edge
-
Emergency stop immediately cuts power to the motor; guide-rail guidance for stability
-
Five on-screen command languages; large, easy-to-clean waste tray extending below the blade holder
Applications:
-
Routine paraffin sectioning in clinical and pathology laboratories
-
Sectioning of plastic-embedded specimens
-
High-throughput sectioning across an extensive range of specimen types
-
Single, interval, multi, and continuous mechanized cutting workflows
-
Research and industrial histology requiring automated, repeatable performance
