Other makes/models available

• The Leica SM2500 is a large-surface, heavy-duty sectioning system that is the standard universal microtome for all sectioning applications involving hard and/or large-surface specimens.
• Large specimens of up to 250 x 200 mm and hard materials such as bones and teeth embedded in methyl-methacrylate can be sectioned.
• Typical medical research applications include the sectioning of whole organs such as brain or lung embedded in paraffin.
• The wide range of accessories, especially designed for paraffin, celloidine or resin embedded specimens make the Leica SM2500 the ideal instrument for both routine and research applications.
• The Leica SM2500 can be fitted with the optional Leica SP2600 ultramilling attachment (optional). Ultramilling is a preparation technique which provides high–quality plane surfaces at lowest
sectioning forces.
