What Is a Semi Automatic Microtome?
A semi automatic microtome uses a motorised drive to cut sections, set from a digital control panel. This category lists one Lyzer-brand model for histology teaching and research labs that cut paraffin- or plastic-embedded specimens. It cuts slices from 0.25 to 60 µm and trims from 10 to 100 µm, with high-profile disposable blades in a lateral knife holder and a retractable specimen clamp. The maker is Lyzer; JLab (Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd), Ambala, India, supplies it.

How to Choose Between Semi Automatic and Other Microtomes
- The thinnest setting: at 0.25 µm this model starts lower than the Fully Automatic Microtome, which starts at 0.5 µm.
- Thicker sections and deep trimming: the fully automatic model reaches 100 µm sections and 600 µm trimming, against 60 µm and 100 µm here.
- Disposable blades or a steel razor: this model takes disposable blades; the Rotary Senior Microtome and the Rotary Microtome Erma Type come with a 120 mm steel razor.
- Mains supply: a 110 V, 60 Hz version is offered for labs that need it.
- Frozen sections: the Freezing Microtome cuts fresh material on a CO2 freezing stage from 5 to 40 microns.
Tasks Covered by the Semi Automatic Microtome
| Task | Apparatus |
|---|---|
| Trimming a block to the tissue face in 10 to 100 µm steps | Semi Automatic Microtome |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between high-profile and low-profile blades?
High-profile disposable blades are taller and stiffer, so they flex less on larger or firmer blocks. Low-profile blades are thinner and are often used for small, soft specimens. This microtome is set up for high-profile blades held in a lateral knife holder.
How does the knife clearance angle affect the sections?
A clearance angle that is too small lets the blade face rub the block, which is pushed back and then released, so sections are skipped or alternate thick and thin. Too large an angle makes the blade scrape. Check the angle, and make sure the blade, holder and clamp are all tight.
Can paraffin and plastic blocks be cut on the same microtome?
Yes, this model is made for both. Plastic or resin blocks are harder and are usually cut much thinner, which is where the 0.25 µm steps at the low end help. Use a fresh part of the blade edge when moving from plastic back to paraffin.
