The RM2145 is a semi-motorized rotary microtome, designed for routine and research applications in histology, histopathology and industrial quality assurance laboratories. Low-maintenance cross roller bearings for horizontal and vertical specimen movement ensure accurate reproducibility of the section thickness and optimum quality even when sectioning hard tissues. The RM2145 is designed for users requiring semi-motorized microtomes for their laboratory.

Detailed Description
The design and technology of the RM2145 utilize the patented balancing system first introduced in the Leica RM 2135 rotary microtome. A precision step motor is used for convenient and accurate specimen advance so that the section thickness remains consistent at any setting. In addition, the Leica RM2145 is the first semi-motorized microtome where the sample is advanced and retracted without having to turn the handwheel completely (i.e. rocking/ Ergomode). The position of the sample can be stored via the horizontal stop memory. When working with the same sample size, the specimen is automatically positioned to the knife.

The Leica RM2165, a fully motorized rotary microtome for applications in the medical laboratory and for semi-thin sectioning in biomedical research and industrial quality control applications. The RM2165 is for users looking for a microtome for either their various microtomy needs or specific top-of-the-range sectioning requirements. The RM2165 is also the instrument of choice for sectioning at low temperatures in combination with the LN21 Freezing Unit.

Detailed Description
The Leica RM2165 offers four different cutting modes for all common microtomy applications. In motorized operation the user can choose between single and continuous stroke. In manual operation, it is possible to either use the conventional method of completing a full handwheel rotation or to work in the rocking mode. When using this mode, it is only necessary to move the handwheel back and forth over a short distance. Each change in rotation is electronically detected and automatically converted into an advance or retraction movement.
The rocking mode saves time when trimming small specimens. In addition, it minimizes the risk of developing repetitive motion disorders which are a common problem for the microtomist performing routine sectioning every day. The cutting thickness can be set from 0.25 to 60 µm so that the RM2165 can also be used for semi-thin sections.

The compact cryostat CM1510 is appropriate for applications in routine histopathology or dermatology departments. The core of the system is a powerful compressor which cools the chamber. The accurate microtome with motorized specimen advance guarantees a section thickness down to 2 µm. Customers with a limited budget and requiring low to average specimen throughput should consider the CM1510 as the ideal Leica cryostat for their laboratory.

Detailed Description
With the CM1510 Leica offers an attractively priced cryostat. The core of the system is a powerful compressor which cools the chamber. The accurate microtome with motorized specimen advance guarantees a constant section thickness down to 2 µm. The actively cooled freezing shelf speeds up freezing the samples and enables the user to store up to ten samples inside the cryostat during operation.
The specimen orientation comes with a click-stop for resetting to zero. Customers with a limited budget and requiring low to average specimen throughput should consider the CM1510 as the ideal Leica cryostat for their laboratory.
