Leica RM2235 Microtome

The Leica RM2235 rotary microtome is equipped with a low maintenance, slack-free micrometer drive, with vertical and horizontal specimen feed realized via low-maintenance cross roller bearings.

The instrument is equipped with two independent handwheel locking systems for even greater operating safety.

Leica’s patented, user-adjustable force balance system compensates centrifugal forces arising while cutting via a pretensioned spring for extremely light handwheel action.
