Choose the hand and table microtome for routine botany section cutting on an ordinary lab bench, where its clamp and wide stage give students a steady surface for the razor. The milled-knob hand microtome adds a graduated micrometer scale and a case, and the rotary microtome is the bench instrument for repeated, mechanically fed sections.
What Is the Hand and Table Microtome Used For?
A microtome cuts specimens into slices thin enough for light to pass through under a microscope. In this design the specimen — typically a piece of stem, root or leaf, held between pieces of pith, carrot or potato — is held in the microtome and raised in small steps by its feed, while a sharp razor is drawn across the flat stage. Students use it to prepare transverse sections of dicot and monocot stems and roots in class 11 botany practicals, and college and university departments use it in plant anatomy and histology teaching as standard botany lab equipment.
Clamp the microtome firmly to the bench edge, wet the razor and stage with water, and cut with a single smooth stroke. Transfer the sections to a watch glass of water, choose the thinnest and most complete, then stain and mount them. After use, wipe the stage and feed mechanism dry so that they keep moving smoothly, and store the razor separately with its edge protected.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; botany labs often plan one microtome per bench group.
- Razors — add microtome razors or other accessories to the same enquiry; they are separate catalogue items.
- Model — confirm whether you need this clamp-mounted model, the milled-knob hand microtome or a rotary microtome.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the least count of this microtome?
0.01 mm, which equals 10 micrometres. That is the smallest step by which the specimen can be raised, and so the finest change in section thickness you can set.
How large is the stage and how far does the specimen rise?
The stage is 80 mm in diameter and the vertical lift is 20 mm, which sets how much specimen can be fed through before it has to be reloaded.
How is it fixed to the bench?
A fixing clamp attaches it securely to the edge of a bench, table or work surface, so both hands are free for the razor and the specimen.
Is a razor included?
A razor is not listed as part of this microtome. Microtome razors are separate items; add them to your enquiry, or ask JLab to confirm what is packed with the microtome.
How does it differ from the Hand Microtome External Milled Knob?
That model lists a micrometer scale of 50 divisions of 10 microns and comes complete in a case. This model lists an 80 mm stage, 20 mm lift and 0.01 mm least count, with a clamp for bench mounting.
What information does an export quotation need?
The quantity, destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any packing or labelling requirements and the tender reference, if there is one.
Who manufactures this microtome?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a biology and laboratory equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. This microtome is built at JLab’s own works rather than bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct; each one is visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders and spare parts are handled by the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example the USA in North America, Lesotho in Southern Africa, Costa Rica in Central America and the Caribbean, Guyana in South America and Madagascar in East Africa. For tender enquiries, see the JLab lab tenders page.
