from 0 - 3 mm in 0.05mm increments
Starts the sectioning process
Starts the sectioning process using the selected amplitude and blade feed
rate. You can start the sectioning process by pressing the RUN/STOP key a
second time, or you can stop the process immediately by pressing the "Blade
back" or "Blade forward" key. The μm display is then reset to "0".
To start a new sectioning process, use the "Blade back" key to move the
blade to the beginning of the specimen, set the desired section thickness
and restart the sectioning process.
