A microtome for producing sections of a specimen having a knife for sectioning the specimen and a cooling apparatus for cooling a gaseous coolant cooling the specimen. A database stores data of various tissue types and target temperatures that are allocated to these various tissue types. A reading unit is adapted to read a code from a specimen or from a specimen carrier unit allocated to the specimen and a control unit is adapted to determine the tissue type of the tissue of the specimen by the code that has been read. The control unit is adapted to read the target temperature of the specimen to be sectioned for controlling the cooling apparatus and setting this target temperature and is adapted to control the cooling apparatus such that the cooling power is controlled to preset target temperature. |
