Chamber can cool from ambient to ?20?C (?4?F) in 60 minutes, and features accurate temperature control at the knife edge. The ?40?C (?40?F) quick freeze plate accommodates numerous samples and provides convenient temperature readouts. Inside the cryostat chamber, the microtome is placed at a horizontal angle to provide greater visibility to the standing technician. The updated cabinet has inset sides and a steep front for increased user comfort, and a membrane control panel that is user- and glove-friendly. Shortened defrost time allows for higher productivity and efficiency. Manual or automatic defrost is available. Forward and reverse coarse movement of the specimen arm can be done manually or with a motor drive. The control switch for the motor drive can be held down for continuous movement or tapped for a 10mm (13/32") advance. The convection-cooled chamber is spacious and contains a large specimen freezing and storage space. Knife safety guard offers operator protection from injury.
