Precise and Consistent Semi-Thin Sectioning
Avoid destruction of samples with the Special Spindle and expanded Slow Speed Adjustment capabilities which allow you to produce consistent semi-thin sections down to 250nm.
When your microtomy involves diverse samples in order to discover new breakthroughs in your research projects, then NANOCUT R is the optimal solution for you. The new generation of microtomes from Leica Biosystems is built upon our 145+ year heritage of market-leading microtome design. From biomedical research to industrial applications, NANOCUT R can cut virtually anything you put in front of it.

Avoid destruction of samples with the Special Spindle and expanded Slow Speed Adjustment capabilities which allow you to produce consistent semi-thin sections down to 250nm.
Leverage a wide range of accessories available to the NANOCUT R, including holders for disposable steel and tungsten carbide blades, reusable knives, and a special holder for glass and diamond knives.
Precisely stop the sample in the object head's optimal position for photo-capture of the cut sample surface when running 3-dimensional reconstruction programs.
Always get back to a 0-position home on the microtome, regardless of how you (or another tech) have changed the instrument's orientation.
Minimize the risk of injury to the operator or specimen by an unbalanced object head.
