Optimized blade holder designed for minimum buffer spillage.
Motorized blade holder sectioning speed adjustable between 0.01 to 1.5 mm/sec.
Built-in LED illumination for natural, comfortable lighting during sectioning without adding heat, which could deteriorate the tissue. Must have a 5-step adjustable light intensity.
