1. INTENDED USE
The floor standing open top cryostat MEV is intended for rapid freezing and cutting thin
sections of frozen specimens for professional use in routine and research laboratories in
the fields of biology, medicine and industry.
The system of knife advance operates very reliable from 0.5 to 100 µm with trimming
function up to 300 µm. The quality of cutting of this microtome is increased by the
automatic retraction during the upstroke of the specimen, which avoids rubbing on the
disposable blades or microtome knives. This stops rapid deterioration of the disposable
blade or microtome knife.
