1INTENDED USE
The rotary microtome CUT 4062 is intended for cutting thin sections of soft paraffin-embedded and harder specimens for
professional use in routine and research laboratories in the fields of biology, medicine and industry.
The system of specimen advance operates very reliable from 0.5 to 60 µm. The quality of cutting of this microtome is
increased by the automatic retraction during the upstroke of the specimen, which avoids rubbing on the disposable blades
or microtome knives. This stops rapid deterioration of the disposable blade or microtome knife.
