To switch between sectioning mode and trimming mode, press the TRIM
SECT button. Whenever the button is pressed, the display toggles be-
tween SECT and TRIM.
In the SECT display, the sectioning thickness in the range from 0.50 to
100.0 µm is shown, and in the TRIM display, the trimming section thick-
ness between 1.0 and 600 µm is displayed.
Adjust these settings using the
Section thickness setting range: 0.50µm - 100 µm
Setting values: from 0.5 µm-
from
from 20.0 µm - 60.0 µm
from 60.0 µm - 100.0 µm
Trimming section thickness setting range: 1 - 600 µm
Setting values: from 1.0 µm - 10.0 µm
from 10.0 µm - 20.0 µm
from 20.0 µm - 50.0 µm
from 50.0 µm - 100.0 µm
from 100.0 µm - 600.0 µm
The electric coarse feed at two speeds is used for a rapid movement of
the specimen towards and away from the knife.
Press the buttons with the double arrow for a speed of 900 µm/s; for
300 µm/s please use the buttons with a single arrow.
In sectioning mode the coarse drive can be used in STEP mode, or with
continuous feed. The instrument is delivered with continuous feed (stand-
ard configuration).
Three-digit display
This display is located both on the instrument
and on the control panel.
If the SECT LED is lit up, the display shows the
section thickness setting in µm.
If the TRIM LED is lit up, the display shows the
trimming section thickness setting in µm.
