The Leica HI1220 flattening table has a large jet black aluminum work surface to provide high thermal conductivity rates and outstanding resistance to mechanical manipulations.

Temperatures ranging from ambient to 75°C can be selected, with work surface temperatures above 44°C being indicated by a flashing LED, to guard against overheating of specimens.

The programmed, as well as the current, temperatures are displayed on the instrument and the set values are memorized via a built-in battery backup system.
