Microtome
The Leica RM2135 Microtome is a classic manual rotary microtome based on 125 years of Leica experience in manufacturing and design. The ergonomical concept of the Leica RM 2135 microtome integrates extraordinary safety standards and user friendly operation. The Leica RM2135 Microtome features cross roller bearings for the horizontal and vertical specimen feed ensure accurate reproducibility of section thickness and optimal section quality. The Leica RM2135 Microtome features a new patented gravitational force compensation system offsets the centrifugal forces that arise during the sectioning process. The new system ensures a very smooth and easy turn of the handwheel to obtain a uniform stroke for excellent, chatter-free sections. As a result, the smooth running handwheel creates stress-free working conditions and repetitive motion disorders are reduced to a minimum.
0RepliesSat Jul 26 2025 | Leica RM2135 handwheel assembly tool The Leica RM2135 service manual mentions a tool to be used when assembling the handwheel shaft. It applies pressure onto the bearings to enable inserting additional shim washers, to adjust the tension. The service manual calls it p/n 0800, but I am pretty sure that requesting to buy p/n 0800 from Leica (if by some miracle the tool is still available) won't be sufficient. I have never seen one of these tools, but I can envision what it is doing. Does anyone have more information? A picture or a video of one in use? Reply |
