About ConXport Rocking Microtome

Cambridge RockingMicrotome is very well known and one of the best established microtomes in theworld, which has given outstanding service to numerous microtomists through theyears. It is designed for sectioning comparatively soft, wax-embedded tissueswith a thickness range of 2 m to 24 m, in steps of 2 m. Calibrated in 2micron divisions, the section cutting thickness can be set easily and quicklyby a single control. It is recommended for elementary biology & pathologystudents.
The rocking microtome is an extremely reliable instrument comprising of threemoving parts. The lead screw mechanism incorporates quality precisionengineering and the cutting stroke is controlled by a single control leverwhich minimizes the operator skill required. It carries wide choice of specimenholders cylindrical holders, standard orientating & wood block holders forsectioning wax embedded specimens.

Precise Sectioning for Enhanced Research

This microtome excels in producing uniform thin sections, which are essential for detailed microscopic analysis. Its micrometer screw and Vernier scale system ensure accuracy, while the sturdy hand-operated rocker mechanism gives users meticulous control over cutting. With section thickness adjustable between 2 and 24 microns, researchers can customize their samples to fit a variety of investigative protocols.


Durable Construction and Thoughtful Accessories

Built with cast iron and steel components, the ConXport Rocking Microtome offers enduring performance. The included accessories, such as a knife with back and handle, honing plate, oil can, and dust cover, streamline the sectioning workflow. The supplied wooden case aids in safe storage, making it convenient for busy laboratory environments.


Manual Operation for Reliable Performance

Designed for manual operation, this microtome requires no electric power or complex controls, thus reducing maintenance demands. Its rocker mechanism and easy-to-use adjustment features make it suitable for laboratories prioritizing consistency and straightforward operation, especially in locations where electric-powered equipment may not be practical.
