Leica VT1200 and VT1200S – Microtome
Key/setting dial semiautomatic sectioning mode
The rotary knob for moving the
specimen receptacle vertically can
be used for fine-adjusting the
blade-to-specimen proximity. Turn-
ing the setting dial clockwise
moves the specimen up into the
desired proximity; turning the set-
ting dial counterclockwise lowers
the specimen (minus sign).
The step sizes 1, 10 or 100μm can
be selected by pressing the STEP
SIZE key.
After the setting dial is turned
clockwise or counter clockwise,
the specimen receptacle position is
updated in the ∑μm display.
In semiautomatic mode, the de-
sired section thickness is selected
using the setting dial.
The selected section thickness
appears in the μm display and the
current specimen receptacle posi-
tion appears in the ∑μm display.
After each sectioning process has
been completed, the μm display is
set to "0".
When the DOWN key is pressed,
the specimen receptacle automat-
ically moves quickly into the low-
est position. (The LED in the DOWN
key lights up when the lower end
position is reached.) The ∑μm dis-
play is set to "0".
