SETTING SECTION THICKNESS AND
TRIMMING THICKNESS
•
The required section and trimming
thicknesses are set by means of the control
knob (fig. 16.1), which is placed on the side
part of the operating panel.
•
To choose between section thickness and
trimming thickness, press the control knob (fig.
16.1). The selected thickness range is then
marked with a rim when in the operating mode
NORMAL (fig. 17.1).
Note:
Switching over from trim sectioning to
fine sectioning via the operating knob
(fig. 16.1) can also serve to reduce the
motorized cutting speed (see part "Automatic
speed reduction" 3-9).
Note:
Whenever the instrument is turned on,
"FINE" sectioning is automatically
selected and shown accordingly.
FINE = pre-selected section thickness
TRIM = pre-selected trimming thickness
The graduation of the section thicknesses is
divided into five ranges:
Range: Graduation:
up to 5 µm
0,5 µm
from 5 µm to 20 µm
1 µm
from 20 µm to 30 µm
2 µm
from 30 µm to 60 µm
5 µm
from 60 µm to 100 µm
10 µm
The graduation of the trimming thicknesses is
divided into four ranges:
Range: Graduation:
up to 10 µm
5 µm
from 10 µm to 100 µm
10 µm
from 100 µm to 200 µm
20 µm
from 200 µm to 500 µm
50 µm
