Revolutionary Dual-Handwheel for Effortless Coarse Advance
The new CUT 5062+ Microtome from SLEE Medical introduces an innovative left-hand coarse advance handwheel, designed to make specimen positioning faster, easier, and more ergonomic. Simply turn the handwheel to smoothly move your specimen towards the knife or blade, reducing operator strain and improving workflow efficiency.
For added safety, the system emits an acoustic alert when reaching the mechanical end positions—preventing over-rotation and protecting your instrument from potential damage.

FEATURES
Intuitive use
Multiple different features can often make it complicated for the user. The Cut 5062+ has an intuitive control panel that can be easily controlled and is more user-friendly.

One-handed specimen orientation on the x- and y-axis as well as the blade holder positioning scale on the base plate allows a fast alignment.
All in sight
All settings can be easily seen and monitored through the LCD screen which is displayed at the eye level of the user, located on the front of the microtome.
Section waste tray
The large waste tray fits perfectly to the body of the microtome and collects the waste during sectioning. Disposal of cutting waste is easy and fast.
Safety
The handwheel can be locked in any position. The blade holder features a finger protection system for increased safety. A second handwheel brake is optionally available.
