The Leica CM 1510 is a compact open-top cryostat in a
space-saving design for rapid freezing and manual sec-
tioning of tissue specimens.
The cabinet is movable on rollers. Two adjustable feet
(4) at the front ensure a safe stand. The counterbal-
anced handwheel (2) is lockable in the top position.
The corrosion-proof cryochamber is well illuminated
and easily accessible through the heated sliding win-
dow. The cryochamber temperature is selectable be-
tween 0 °C and -30 °C. An actively cooled quick-freeze
shelf for up to 10 specimen discs ensures rapid freez-
ing of specimens at a maximum temperature of -44 °C
(+3 Kelvin) depending on the selected cryochamber
temperature (-20 °C to -30 °C).
Waste liquid from the chamber is drained through a
tube
(3) and collected outside.
The stainless steel rotary microtome is virtually main-
tenance-free and provides an 8° X/Y/Z specimen ori-
entation. The section thickness is adjustable in a range
of 1 to 50 µm.
All controls and displays are integrated in the control
panel
(5) .
An 8-minute automatic defrost cycle can be activated
manually and programmed.
