The present invention relates to a method of producing thin sections by means of a microtome, wherein a hand wheel (32) is manually driven for producing a first thin section, and wherein the rotational movement of the hand wheel (32) is detected by means of an encoder (38), and a profile of the rotational movement is determined. The determined profile is stored and selected for production of at least a second thin section. A motor (24) is driven for generating a cutting movement between a cutting unit (16) and a sample holder (12) in accordance with the respective stored profile selected for producing the second thin section. The invention further relates to a microtome (10) by means of which the above method is carried out. |
