Note on the knife holder E:

Lateral displacement (only for knife holder E) The lateral movement feature of the knife holder base enables the use of the entire length of the blade or knife, eliminating the need for re- adjusting the knife holder. The knife holder E consists of a segment arch A (with lever (11)) and the clamp mount B (with lever (10) and ejector (13)).

The extreme left and right positions as well as the middle position are each marked with a notch point.

•To release the clamp, rotate the lever (11) on the left side of the knife holder forwards.

•Move the knife holder sideways.

•To clamp, rotate the lever (11) back.

The knife holder E is an important precision component, the quality and precise adjustment of which have a lasting effect on the entire function of the microtome. In case of malfunctions or damages to the clamp mount, it is always required to replace the clamp mount, including the pertinent clamping lever.

Leica Microsystems offers special prices for new clamp mounts in case of damages to the clamp mount after the warranty has expired.

In this way, perfect function of the device can be ensured over the course of many years.

Setting of the clamping system of the clamp mount on the segment arch

To ensure a proper sectioning result, clamp mount B must be securely clamped onto segment arch A.

The clamping is carried out using an eccentric at the lever (11). The clamping force is adjusted with the setscrew (12) on the underside of the segment arch. The setting of the clamping is carried out so that the clamping lever can be rotated to the stop with constantly increasing resistance.

Adjust the clamping with a 2.5 mm Allen key at the grubscrew (12) so that the lever initially "bars" when the lever is activated. Continue turning the grubscrew (12) a little bit (approx.

1/4 turn to the left or right), then check that the lever no longer "bars", but also does not jam "heavily".

(The language CD features a short video film for this purpose.)
