Precise and Consistent Semi-Thin Sectioning
Avoid destruction of samples with the Special Spindle and expanded Slow Speed Adjustment capabilities which allow you to produce consistent semi-thin sections down to 250nm.
When your microtomy involves diverse samples in order to discover new breakthroughs in your research projects, then NANOCUT R is the optimal solution for you. The new generation of microtomes from Leica Biosystems is built upon our 145+ year heritage of market-leading microtome design. From biomedical research to industrial applications, NANOCUT R can cut virtually anything you put in front of it.

Avoid destruction of samples with the Special Spindle and expanded Slow Speed Adjustment capabilities which allow you to produce consistent semi-thin sections down to 250nm.
Leverage a wide range of accessories available to the NANOCUT R, including holders for disposable steel and tungsten carbide blades, reusable knives, and a special holder for glass and diamond knives.
Precisely stop the sample in the object head's optimal position for photo-capture of the cut sample surface when running 3-dimensional reconstruction programs.
Always get back to a 0-position home on the microtome, regardless of how you (or another tech) have changed the instrument's orientation.
Minimize the risk of injury to the operator or specimen by an unbalanced object head.

No – the microtome base plates of both series have different dimensions and are not compatible with each other.
The antistatic waste tray is made from resistant antistatic material to avoid debris sticking to the walls of the tray.
Yes – only in the combination blade holder and 2-in-1 blade holder.
No – the 2-in-1 blade holder base does not have the cut-out for the backlighting.
Convenience and ease-of-user – users can select their personal preference of coarse feed wheel turn direction. This feature is preserved from the RM22xx series, allowing users to trim at the high pace.
The return speed of the object head from front to home position has been reduced from 26 seconds (older series) to 13 seconds (new series). This accelerated speed helps to shorten the sectioning process each time the object head is returned to home position.
When batch trimming and using the same height of blocks, Memory Position will help to accelerate the sectioning.
