5.2.3 Adjustable sectioning window
The VT1000 A features an adjustable sectioning window that you can use
you speed up the process of making series sections.
This "window" is the distance the blade travels
from a resting retracted position to the front of
the bath when it automatically ends the forward
stroke and reverses.
This corresponds to distance "A" in
Fig. 46 .
Fig. 40
If the front and rear edge of the "window" are
positioned as close as possible to the front and
rear end of the specimen, it is only necessary to
cover distance "B" for a section.
This reduces the time for a complete cycle or
section significantly.
