4 Attaching to Rotary Microtomes
of the Leica RM22/23.. Series
with Quick Change System
The RM CoolClamp is attached the same way as changing the universal
cassette clamp; for additional information, also refer to the operating
manual of the respective rotary microtomes.
There are two versions of the specimen holder fixture, one with and one without
specimen orientation. The two versions can be interchanged.
The specimen orientation allows for simple position correction of the specimen
surface when the specimen is clamped into place.
To do so, proceed as follows:

Move the specimen holder fixture (60) to the upper end position by turning
the handwheel (12) and engage the handwheel lock.

To release the clamping system, turn the screw (61) counterclockwise using
a size 4 Allen key.

Push the guide (63) of the RM CoolClamp (62) from the left into the
specimen holder fixture (60) as far as it will go.

To clamp the specimen clamp, turn the screw (61) clockwise as far as it will
go.
