EM480 is a fully-automated rotary microtome, designed with a smooth running handwheel and the stepping-motor advanced technology for precision and stability to provide superior section results.  

The unique user-friendly display panel and most comfortable separated handpad are perfectly suited for those who expect precision section and appreciate the feel. The casing of the microtome is made from fire-retardant ABS plastic with a streamlined design.

  • Spacious and ingenious waste tray.
  • The advanced retraction function makes better sectioning. The retraction value is also adjustable.
  • Universal and fast specimen holders fit international embedding cassettes.
  • Handwheel locking may be activated at any position and improve operation safety standards.
  • The electric coarse feed operates at two speeds which is easy to record the feed.
  • A separate control panel is much easier to operate.
  • Three motorized sectioning modes (Cont, Single, and Step) are available for the user to select.
  • Automatic memorized coarse feed and reload functions can significantly improve cutting efficiency.
