Galileo AUTO Series 2
The new rotary microtomes line Galileo Series 2 is designed to meet requirements of precision, reliability, safety and assure the best performances in histological samples cutting.
Galileo AUTO Series 2 is a fully automatic rotary microtome with great histological sample cutting (in 0.5 µm increments) with attention and precision according to the high standards for user’s safety.
Galileo AUTO Series 2 can be used both in automatic and semi-automatic mode, assuring maximum flexibility of use.
The handwheel is equipped with an innovative system to give a smooth assisted-handwheel running: it supports the operator during the manual working, enables user comfort with a safe and smooth sectioning improving operator’s work condition and productivity.
