Craftek microtome is widely used:
Des.: This machine can be operated with 2 modes: Panel control mode, and 2ND hand wheel control mode.
Rotate the 2ND smaller hand wheel (which controls the servo motor in the machine) at the left side of the instrument clockwise or counter-clockwise, to enable fast movement of the specimen feed or retraction. It imitates a fully manual operating machine. This function meets the requirements of skillful operators, and improving the work efficiency greatly.
The operators can also press the buttons on the panel to enable the movement of specimen feed or retraction, like a standard semi-automatic instrument does.
The operators can work alternatively with the two control modes.

Feature:
1)Offers two sectioning modes: Conventional full handwheel rotation mode, and rocking mode.
2)Precision specimen orientation with clear zero reference point.
3)Non-stick coating plate.
The blade holder in the instrument is applied non-stick coating and treatment, which enables the specimen to be stick-free and thus achieves smoothing sectioning and easy cleaning;
4)Ergonomics and user safety.
The smooth-running safety hand-wheel has an ergonomically shaped handle. A hand-wheel locking device for one-thumb operation locks the specimen head in the uppermost position, which is ideal for changing the specimen and/or blade; A second locking mechanism on the microtome base allows locking the object head in any position.
5)The humanized design of the foldable handle in the back of the machine.
Unfold the handle to move the machine conveniently. Fold the handle after the machine is placed properly.
6)Convenient control panel
The user can press the button to set sectioning parameters, such as trimming thickness, sectioning thickness, number of sectioning, distance to the blade, retraction symbol and locking symbol.
7)Graduation of the blade holder base
There is graduation on the right side of the microtome blade holder base, helping to adjust the blade to an appropriate angle.
8)Mouse control option
9)Auto hibernation
The screen will be put to sleep in 15 minutes after the machine stops working. Press any button to wake it up.
10)Long specimen stroke
The instrument provides a specimen stroke as long as 70mm, enabling larger specimen sectioning and longer distance from the blade and thus achieving improved safety while changing specimen.
11)Specimen retraction:
It provides specimen retraction function, which can be switched on/off by long pressing the MODE button on the panel. Once it is on, two arrow symbols are displayed. The symbols disappears on the screen when the mode is off.
12)Thickness summing up function
