Design for slicing micro thin sections of a specimen for viewing with your microscope. Sample to be sectioned is supported in styropith or other material and placed in the central well. Turning the milled knob at the base of the microtome moves the piston up and raises the sample. Sections can be cut from the top flat plate stage with a razor. Piston has 19mm overall travel with click stops at 20 micron intervals. Advances 500 microns for each complete turn. Top stage is 63mm diameter and well is 21mm diameter. Unused.
