Overview

The Leica RM2265 is Leicas top-of- the-line fully motorized and programmable rotary microtome designed primarily to satisfy the requirements of biomedical researchers sectioning hard to semi-soft materials and customers needing to section industrial materials for quality assurance and materials defects analysis. The RM2265 is also the instrument of choice for sectioning at ultra-low temperatures ( -150 C) in combination with the Leica LN22 liquid nitrogen freezing attachment.

Key Features

6 different sectioning modes
Automatic, variable specimen retraction, depending on the actual sectioning speed
Section thickness setting from 0.25 m to 100 m
Section thickness totalizer and section counter
Programmable sectioning window
Speed control through the sectioning window for enhanced efficiency
Intuitive control panel and user interface
Trimming section thickness setting range up to 600 m
Precision specimen orientation with zero point reference
Vertical specimen stroke length of 70 mm
Novel safety handwheel
Enclosed micrometer mechanism

The Leica RM2265 is Leicas top-of-the-line fully motorized and programmable rotary microtome designed primarely to satisfy the requirements of biomedical researchers sectioning hard to semi-soft materials and customers with need to section industrial materials for quality assurance and materials defects analysis. The RM2265 is also the instrument of choice for sectioning at ultra-low temperatures (-150 C) in combination with the Leica LN22 liquid nitrogen freezing attachment.

With the Leica RM2265, a total of six sectioning modes are available. In motorized operation there are four operating mode selections: continuous, single or step stroke, and program mode. In manual operation it is possible to use the conventional method of completing a full handwheel rotation or the so-called rock mode.

The handwheel is moved back and forth over a small distance. Each change in direction is electronically detected and automatically converted into an advance or retraction movement of the specimen. The all-new precise specimen orientation with zero reference point and position indicators sets a new standard in microtomy. The section thickness is selectable between 0.25 m and 100 m.

For the Leica RM2265 a wide range of accessories is available. Among others, there is a microscope carrier with two fiber optic light guides for the optimal illumination of the working area, suitable also for very special applications.
