Description

Suggested Manufacturer Brand Name: Leica VT1200 Semiautomatic Vibrating Blade Microtome OR EQUIVALENT as listed below: Specifications/Salient Characteristics:I made formatting changes here that I did not track. Please review to ensure I have not inadvertently changed the meaning. Some of these items are not salient characteristics, they appear to be a reproduction of Leica promotional material. Instrument features: Includes blade holder, ice tray, buffer tray metal,and specimen disc Semiautomatic Vibrating Blade Microtome for sectioning fixed and unfixed specimens from Neuropathology, Neurophysiology (Patch clamping), Botany (FboNotices and parts of plants) and Industry (foams). Robust and stabile basic instrument with blade holder for safe insertion of the whole razor blade and adjustment screw screwFor example, are these adjustments made in other devices by means other than an adjustment screw? You deleted the reference to a screw in another location so I propose deleting this one as well. to minimize the vertical deflection of the blade below 1 µm. Separate control panel foil protected. Adjustment for manual feeding prior to each section (semiautomatic cutting mode). Support for removable ice tray, double walled buffer tray or optional measurement device, Is Vibrocheck specific to the Leica machine? for vertical deflection of the blade below 1 um. Technical specifications: Vertical specimen feed: max. 20 mm (depending on selected specimen holder) Horizontal stroke: 45 mm Blade holder turntable must be safe for blade removal and insertion of whole razorinjector or sapphire blades. Optimized blade holder design for minimized buffer spillage. Separate control panel foil protected Protected Parameter setting for speed, amplitude, section thickness (semiautomatic mode) Display for vertical blade deflection value (in µm) and indication of screw turn direction to minimize the vertical blade deflection when using measurement device ""Vibrocheck"" Motorized blade holder vibration with minimal vertical blade deflection (value measurable by optional measurement devi. Value can be minimised by using adjustment screw on blade holder). Motorised blade holder travel speed adjustable between 0.01 1.5 mm/s in: 0.1 in 0.01 mm/s steps 0.5 in 0.02 mm/s steps 0.5 1.5 in 0.1 mm/s steps Accelerated motorised blade return travel speed of 2.5 mm/s Manual blade forward and return speed of 1.5 mm/s Amplitude adjustment: 03 mm in 0.05 mm steps Frequency: 85 Hz +/5 Hz ""Up"" button for fast approach of the specimen to the blade ""Down"" button for fast approach of the home position for safe and fast specimen change Adjustment screw for manual feeding prior to each section Adjustable step sizes for manual feeding: 1, 10 or 100 µm Memo button to save selected section thickness Section thickness totalizer, resettable at any position Integrated LED illumination Adapter for magnifier or microscope carrier Removable ice tray, drawer principle, allows preparation of the tissue under the microscope with integrated palm rests with magnets to hold buffer tray in place Buffer tray (plastics) with lid to cover up buffer tray while filling ice tray, magnet to hold specimen disc in place, specimen disc nonorienting and clamp to hold tube in buffer during oxygenation. Volume: 125 ml, autoclavable
