<p>A microtome, in particular a rotational microtome, comprising a base frame ( 10 ) on which is provided a specimen holding device ( 32 ) for performing a vertical cutting movement. The microtome further has a knife holding device ( 12 ) for a cutting element ( 24 ) which is formed by a cutting knife ( 26 ) or a cutting blade combined with a blade holder. A considerable cost saving and a substantially enhanced level of torsional stiffness and stability when the cutting forces take effect is achieved in that in the microtome the knife holding device ( 12 ) has two side plate portions ( 14 ) which project forwardly from the lower end portion ( 16 ) of the base frame ( 10 ).</p> |
