2-13 SECTION WASTE TRAY WITH
INTEGRATED ARM REST
The section waste tray with integrated arm rest
surrounds the knife carrier area. It can easily be
cleaned and allows non-tiring working with the
microtome. It can easily be removed to the front.
2-14 STORAGE UNIT
The storage unit, which can be cooled, can be
installed on the left side of the instrument instead of
the operating panel. It can also be used
freestanding as a separate unit. For this, insert the
attached support on the rear bottom of the storage
unit.
The four tubes (fig. 23.1), which are placed in the
rear part of the storage unit, can be used for storing
brushes, tweezers and other working instruments.
The tubes can be removed for cleaning.
Before using the insert (fig. 23.2) for cooling
cassettes, put it into the deep freezer.
This way, specimens can be kept cool for a certain
time.
2-15 BACKLIGHTING SYSTEM
The adjustment between specimen and cutting
edge is facilitated considerably by the backlighting
system. The small gap between knife edge and
specimen is illuminated and thus better visible. The
backlighting system is fastened to the rear side of
the base of the knife carrier by means of two
screws.
The plug of the supply cord is connected to the
socket on the right front side of the microtome.

CAUTION! Loosen the connecting cable on the
right side of the instrument, before removing knife
carrier or backlighting system.
