Leica RM2245 Microtome

The Leica RM2245 is a semi-motorized rotary microtome used worldwide in histology and pathology laboratories. The system combines the control of manual sectioning with the precision of a motorized specimen feeder, resulting in consistent and reproducible sections. The RM2245 is therefore an ideal solution for:

Histopathology
Routine histology
Research laboratories
