Available in two models - the automated MicroSlicer Zero1N model and the lower-cost manually operated DTK-1000 model - are the standard models for cutting live tissues.
In the Zero1N Model, vertical up and down movement of the specimen is made electrically by a built-in stepping motor. The built-in retraction mechanism lowers the specimen after each sectioning to protect the damage of the specimen surface by the blade backing to the initial position. This improves usability and performance.
The DTK-1000 Model, combines high basic performance and economic efficiency. The retraction mechanism is not available in this model.
Optional Accessories
Available options include a loupe and a large ice bath with designated specimen tray.
