Labotemp Manual Rotary Microtome ROM-05 is a precision manual rotary microtome developed for accurate tissue sectioning in histopathology and diagnostic laboratories. This robust microtome machine delivers consistent thin sections with an adjustable cut thickness range of 0–60 μm and a minimum section setting of 1 μm, supporting dependable serial sections for routine histology and light microscopy. The precision screw-feed mechanism and cross-roller guide rails provide stable, controlled cutting with high repeatability.
The ROM-05 supports reliable specimen handling with 28 mm horizontal feed and 70 mm vertical feed, enabling smooth trimming and sectioning of paraffin-embedded tissue. A rigid microtome blade holder, available in high- or low-profile options, supports standard disposable microtome blades for stable blade contact at the cutting edge.
