2-7 INDICATION OF CUTTING
PROCESSES
In the lower line of the display information about
the sectioning status can be seen. Press the <roll
button> (fig. 6.7), to show the various functions
one after the other on the display.
The following information about the present
sectioning position of the instrument can
alternatively be seen in the lower line of the
display (fig. 6.1):
- number of sections
- sum of section thicknesses
- remaining travel to the front end
position
For this, press button (fig. 6.7) until the required
information lights up on the display (fig. 6.1).
If no information is required in this line, press
button (fig. 6.7) until this line of the display (fig.
6.1) is blank.
2-7-1 SECTION COUNTER
The section counter adds up the number of
sections produced. After each downward
movement of the specimen holder, the number on
the section counter increases by 1. The counter can
be reset to zero by means of the button (fig. 6.8).
2-7-2 SUM OF SECTION
THICKNESSES
This value shows the sum in microns of the
sections already cut. Trimming values as well as
sectioning values are added up.
This value can also be reset to zero by means of
the button (fig. 6.8).
2-7-3 REMAINING TRAVEL TO
FRONT END POSITION
This value shows the distance in microns, which is
left for sectioning.
If the specimen holder is in the back end position,
the display shows 28 000 µm. This number
decreases the closer the specimen comes towards
the front. If no further feed is possible anymore,
the lower line of the display switches over
automatically to the remaining travel indication,
independently which information about the
sectioning position was chosen before.
