ATTENTION!
The very fast approach of object feed and blade has to be observed
thoroughly to prevent damages at the microtome knife and the
specimen.
3.3.3 Automatic Retraction
To prevent the knife and the specimen from damage when the object clamp is moving up again,
the specimen can be pulled back during upward movement by activating the automatic
“Retraction”.
The “Retraction” can be switched on and off by pressing the “R” key.
If the function is activated there is an “R” appearing in the display.
3.3.4 Position Memory
The Meditome offers the possibility to store 3 values for trimming positions. These values can be
used to recover certain positions within a short time.
A position can be stored by pushing one of the memory keys (M1, M2 or M3) for more than one
second until a signal appears. The value of the actual positioning then is stored in your chosen
memory and can be approached any time later on by just pushing the memory key again.
Occupied memory numbers are shown “M1 … M3” including their values in the display to avoid
an overwriting of your positions.
Of course you can overwrite your values just by proceeding the same way again.
After each restart of the Meditome these values are deleted for safety.
