摘要

The microtome (1) has a reception section (28), which is provided for the detachable fixing of the control desk (32). The reception section (28) of the microtome and the control desk are designed with mutually matching fixing elements (34,38). The operating elements (44,46) provided for the setting of the trimming cut thickness and the slice thickness of the sample (24) to be cut, are designed as co-axial rotary buttons with associated shaft elements, forming a unit (50). The unit is arranged on one side surface of the desk(32). The control desk (32) is designed so that the unit (50) can be interchanged from one side surface (52) to the opposite lying other side surface of the control desk. ADVANTAGE - Operating comfort of microtome improved.
