Leica RM 2145 Rotary Microtome
Press one of the coarse feed buttons to move the
specimen to the desired position.
To save this position, press
POS
again until the 4-
digit LED display reads
Sto
for saving.
The selected stop position is then saved. The instru-
ment performs a test run, moving the specimen first to
the rear limit stop (HOME) and then back to the saved
horizontal stop position. This test run is performed to
double-check whether the saved position is really lo-
cated where it is desired.
From then on, the saved position can be approached
at any time or can be altered by saving a new position.
When the instrument is switched off, the last horizon-
tal stop position that has been saved position remains
archived.
If the
POS
is released before
Sto
is displayed, the pre-
viously saved position is maintained.
Also, if during the backward movement (to HOME) of
the test run the emergency stop is activated, the pre-
viously saved position is maintained.
Invoking the programmed stop position
If the knife holder has been repositioned since
last invoking the programmed horizontal stop
position, there is a risk that the specimen may
collide with the knife when the specimen
moves forward. In case of emergency, inter-
rupt the specimen advance movement with the
emergency stop.
To activate the saved horizontal stop position, press
POS
twice within a short period of time.
The 4-digit LED reads
PoS
. The specimen is then
moved to the desired position.
