Abstract
(EN) Novel rotary microtome. In order to avoid the sticking and friction inherent in conventional slide mounts for the sample table, the invention provides a construction in which the sample table (4) is advanced by means of a parallogram linkage (1, 6, 8, 9). Retraction of the sample table (4) is effected without disturbing the leadscrew assembly (17, 18) by means of a lost-motion arrangement (9a, 9b).
(FR) Nouveaux microtomes rotatifs. De maniere a eviter le collage et la friction propres aux montages a coulisse, conventionnels pour la table a echantillons, la conception de l'invention assure une avance de la table d'echantillons (4) a l'aide d'un assemblage en parallelogramme (1, 6, 8, 9). Le retrait de la table a echantillons (4) s'effectue sans gener l'assemblage a vis mere (17, 18) a l'aide d'un dispositif a mouvements perdus (9a, 9b).
