Microtomes for Histopathology:

Proven Concepts with Innovative Design

Leica always develops laboratory equipment in
close cooperation with end users to ensure that
their experiences are considered in the design of
all new instruments. This is also the case for our
new RM2200 series of microtomes: numerous
details offer comfortable and flexible solutions for
day-to-day practice, improving an already proven
concept and making them even more user-friendly.

Leica microtomes allow you to select between fully
motorized and semi-motorized or manual models.
Thanks to an exceptionally smooth-running hand­wheel, the motorized models can also be operated
manually, i.e. the user has a full two-in-one solution,
a motor-driven microtome that can be used manually
when the need arises.

The Leica Microsystems new microtome familiy is
ideally complemented by a comprehensive series
of laboratory instruments for specimen processing
in clinical histopathology and biomedical research
– examples are tissue processing and embedding
centers, the new high-quality Leica DB80 micro­tome blades, cryostats, fully-automated slide
stainers, coverslippers and, of course, the Leica
microscopes.
