Frequently Asked Questions
1: When is a Rotary Microtome used in histology?
It is used to cut paraffin-embedded tissue into thin sections for slide preparation. The rotary design ensures smooth and consistent sectioning. It is ideal for routine pathology workflows.
2: Can section thickness be finely adjusted?
Yes, Rotary Microtomes allow precise adjustment of thickness, often from 1-60 µm. Fine tuning ensures reproducible cuts for various tissue types. This enhances quality in microscopic examination.
3: Can it accommodate different blade types?
Yes, most rotary models are compatible with both low- and high-profile blades. Blade holders are adjustable for user preference and block type. This flexibility supports diverse sample processing.
4: When should maintenance be performed?
Routine cleaning after each session and weekly inspection of moving parts is recommended. Lubrication and blade alignment checks ensure long-term precision. Proper care extends instrument life.
5: Can it be used for hard or calcified tissues?
Yes, with appropriate blades and slower cutting speed, it can handle denser tissues. However, extremely hard samples may require decalcification or specialized equipment. Always assess the sample before sectioning.
