Instrument specifications
The Leica RM2125 RTS is a manually operated rotary microtome.
• The specimen feed system and stroke mechanism are equipped with slack-free and maintenance-
free cross roller bearings. They are housed in a polymer housing and protected against dust just like
the coarse feed system.
• The handwheel can be locked into place in the upper position via the handwheel handle. In addition,
it is possible to lock the handwheel in any position via the clamping lever on the baseplate.
• Sectioning is done manually by rotating the easy-to-move handwheel, which is accurately balanced
by means of a counterweight.
• The coarse feed is actuated via the coarse feed wheel on the left side of the instrument. The user
can select the coarse feed wheel direction of rotation depending on the requirements (clockwise or
counterclockwise).
• The section thickness is set via a rotary knob and can be read accurately in the viewing window.
Section thickness setting of 0.5 to 60 μm.
• The instrument has a slit cover that prevents section waste from ingressing into the interior of the
instrument.
• The instrument has a mechanical trimming function that is activated by a key lever. Steps are
possible at 10 μm and 50 μm.
