The Leica RM2125 RT is equipped with a me-
chanical trimming function which is activated
via de trimming lever (35).
The trimming lever can be locked in 3 positions:
0 μm, 10 μm and 50 μm.
The two dots (36) mark the two trimming posi-
tions:
= 10 μm
= 50 μm
• To activate the trimming function, push the
trimming lever down to the desired position
15
and hold.
• With every turn of the handwheel the speci-
men the specimen advances by 10 μm or 50
μm respectively.
• When the lever is released trimming is deac-
tivated (lever flips back to zero position).
The selected section thickness is not
35
added to the trimming value.
If, however, the section thickness se-
36
lected is greater than the trimming
value, the specimen will advance by
the section thickness without the
trimming value being added.
• Turn the coarse feed wheel to bring the
specimen close to the knife.
• Select desired trimming value.
