When your microtomy involves diverse samples in order to discover new breakthroughs in your research projects, then NANOCUT R is the optimal solution for you. The new generation of microtomes from Leica Biosystems is built upon our 145+ year heritage of market-leading microtome design. From biomedical research to industrial applications, NANOCUT R can cut virtually anything you put in front of it.

• Cut sections that can be prepared for analysis in light microscopy and electron microscopy - down to 250nm (0.25µm, semi-thin)
• Preserve sample integrity when performing semi-thin sectioning with the Special Spindle and expanded Slow Speed Adjustment
• Precisely stop the sample in the object head’s optimal position for photo-capture of the cut sample surface when running 3-dimensional reconstruction programs
• Leverage a wide range of accessories available to the NANOCUT R, including holders for disposable steel and tungsten carbide blades, reusable knives, and a special holder for glass and diamond knives
• Always get back to a 0-position home on the microtome, regardless of how you (or another tech) have changed the instrument's orientation
• Rotary microtome with Automated and Manual Modes
• Automatic Electronic Brake
• Special Spindle and expanded slow speed adjustment capabilities allows accurate specimen feeding for semi-thin sections of 250nm
• Precise 3D object head stop position allows for taking pictures of the cut specimen surface after each section to enable 3D reconstruction
• Includes standard waste tray and top tray
• For research use only - not for use in diagnostic procedures
