Excellent section quality The stable object and knife/blade holder system in combination with the horizontal and vertical cross-roller bearing system, guarantee maximum stability. This unique technology ensures reliable and consistently high sectioning quality. In combination with its ergonomic design, the pfm Rotary 3000 Compact is ideal for situations with high sample throughput.
Convenient operation The new retraction system, which can be switched on and off, the smooth-running handwheel and the tangible zero-point object orientation enable comfortable and efficient operation.
Safe operation During mounting of the object and knife the handwheel lock can be activated in order to prevent injury. A colour-marked finger guard offers additional safety in the area of the knife/blade edge.
Easy cleaning The surface of the housing is fully anodized and easy to clean. The waste produced during sectioning is caught by the section waste tray and can be disposed of easily.
