HHQ-3558 Rotary Microtome

Product Introduction
The HHQ-3558 Rotary Microtome is a precision histology tissue sectioning instrument developed for pathology, biomedical research, life sciences, and laboratory applications. Designed based on feedback from pathology experts and years of microtome development experience, the HHQ-3558 combines convenient operation, precise thickness adjustment, and stable sectioning performance.
With a 0–60 μm section thickness range, ±5% sectioning accuracy, and a maximum section size of 50 × 45 mm, this rotary microtome is suitable for routine and research-oriented tissue sectioning. Its small handwheel enables rapid sectioning, while the wide waste tray helps keep the working area clean and organized.

Key Features
• Precision rotary microtome for routine histology and tissue sectioning.
• Section thickness range of 0–60 μm.
• Minimum thickness increment of 1 μm.
• Convenient small handwheel for rapid sectioning.
• Wide waste tray for efficient collection of tissue debris.
• Sectioning accuracy of ±5%.
• Large sample travel range for flexible specimen positioning.
• Knife holder base provides both front/back and left/right adjustment.
• Suitable for tumor, wood, cytology, and frozen sectioning applications.
• Compact design for hospitals, laboratories, research institutes, and educational facilities.

Working Principle
The HHQ-3558 uses a rotary microtome sectioning mechanism. The specimen is securely mounted on the sample holder, while the handwheel drives the specimen through a controlled vertical movement.
Before each sectioning cycle, the thickness adjustment mechanism determines the distance by which the specimen advances toward the cutting blade. As the handwheel rotates, the specimen moves through the knife at a controlled thickness, producing thin and uniform tissue sections for microscopic examination.
The thickness can be adjusted from 0–10 μm in 1 μm increments and from 10–60 μm in 5 μm increments. The adjustable knife holder base allows convenient positioning of the cutting system relative to the specimen.
