Trim sectioning of specimens
For the first cuts, approach specimen and
disposable blade carrier TE as usual.
Set the water volume running down the
disposable blade carrier, on the lateral
adjusting wheel (fig. 2.1) depending on the
selected trimming thickness.
Note:
The transfer bridge (fig. 8.7) must
remain open during trimming, i.e. the
lever of the transfer bridge (fig. 8.8)
must be pushed backwards.
Danger:
To minimize the hazard of being
injured, the knife guard should be
placed over the blade. It can remain in
this
position
also
during
process.
The generated trim sections glide over the
blade, the transfer surface and the open
transfer bridge into the basket for paraffin
waste. If necessary, trim sections must be
removed from the blade edge via the detaching
tongue (fig. 8.5).
Remove the basket with section waste and
empty the waste into the intended waste
container.
Dispose of this waste container according to
the respective lab regulations.
Note:
Before changing from trimming to fine
sectioning, activate the lever (fig. 8.6)
of the detaching tongue to dispose
trimming
sections
basket.
Note:
Detailed information on setting and
generating of trim sections can be
found in the instruction manual of the
respective
rotary
microtome
"Trimming and first cuts".
