What Is the Rotary Senior Microtome?
The Rotary Senior Microtome is a manual rotary microtome for cutting serial sections in college histology teaching and in medical and biological research labs. Its feed cuts from 1 to 50 microns in 1 micron steps, with 28 mm of total feed travel and object clamps that open to 37 x 27 mm. The mechanism sits under a hinged cover and a safety device is fitted. This category lists one instrument, made by JLab (Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd) in Ambala, India.

How to Choose Between the Senior and Other Rotary Microtomes
- Thicker sections by hand: the Senior reaches 50 microns, twice the 25 micron top of the Rotary Microtome Erma Type.
- Razor care in the box: the Erma type ships with a honing plate; the Senior ships with razor, holders and oil can only.
- Same range, different drive: the Digital Microtome also covers 1 to 50 microns, set by a cam drive, with a knife holder that moves sideways along the edge.
- Thinner than 1 micron: the Semi Automatic Microtome starts at 0.25 microns and the Fully Automatic Microtome at 0.5 microns, both with automatic drives.
- Hard material: the Wood Microtome takes wood and bone specimens up to 8 x 5 cm.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should the safety device be used?
Use it whenever your hands go near the razor: when changing a block, setting the razor or brushing away wax shavings. Release it only when you are ready to turn the hand wheel and cut. Most microtome cuts happen during these handling steps, not during sectioning.
What is the difference between serial sections and levels?
Serial sections are consecutive slices from one ribbon, so a structure can be traced through the block. Levels are single sections taken at chosen depths, with the block cut away between them. Both are cut the same way on this microtome; only the sections you pick up change.
Why chill the block before cutting?
Cold wax is firmer, so sections cut cleanly and join into a ribbon instead of compressing or crumbling. Face the block at a thicker setting, rest it face down on ice for a few minutes, then return the feed to the working thickness and cut.
