Microm HM 315 Microtome, 0.5 to 60µm, model HM 315, is manufactured by Microm. The Microm HM 315 Microtome is a high performance microtome system designed for efficient routine sectioning of paraffin-embedded specimens. Equipped with zero-maintenance cross-roller bearings, this Microm microtome enables smooth vertical specimen movement. The instrument’s heavy-duty monoblock construction also provides outstanding strength and stability. The Microm unit features a precision microfeed system with fully adjustable section thickness (0.5-60 microns) and a full-feed range of up to 28 mm. Another highlight is the automatic trim feature which cuts the specimen by 10 or 30 microns when the handwheel is turned. The HM 315 also accommodates universal cassettes when used with a quick-release clamp or tissue blocks up to 50 x 55mm with a standard object clamp. Other notable features of the Microm HM 315 include a handwheel which can be locked in any position and guides the specimen accurately and efficiently across the stationary knife, knife holders which fit precisely onto the horizontal dove-tail guideway, and section thickness preselect options which enhance ease-of-operation.
