Product Features

Can alter the frequency and amplitude

To quickly accommodate different application needs, a user can alter the frequency between 0 and 100Hz and select the appropriate amplitude between 0.2 to 1mm in 0.2mm steps.

Adjustable knife advance speed

The instrument features a very fine adjustable knife advance speed between 0.025 to 2.5mm/s, a programmable sectioning window, and specimen retraction.

Fully automated cut mode

Accelerate the sectioning process: the Leica VT1000 S features a high-speed knife return stroke as well as a freely programmable sectioning window which ensures extremely quick sectioning of even the smallest specimens.

High quality sectioning

An adjustable specimen retraction feature minimizes specimen damage during the return stroke of the knife.
