A Semi-Automatic Microtome is a precision instrument used in histology and pathology laboratories to slice thin sections of tissue samples for microscopic examination. Unlike manual microtomes, which require manual operation to advance the sample block, semi-automatic microtomes automate some of the cutting process, enhancing efficiency and precision. With a semi-automatic microtome, the user typically controls the slicing speed and thickness of sections, while the instrument automates the advancement of the sample block, ensuring consistent and uniform slices.
