The Leica SP2600 ultramilling attachment for the Leica SM2500 large scale, heavy duty sectioning system.

Ultramilling is often a viable alternative to standard microtomy and saw microtomy in sample preparation.

Instead of preparing thin sections for transmitted light microscopy, a polished surface is prepared for examination under reflected light.

Using the ultramilling technique makes it possible to track the area of interest in depth as the surface layer can be removed in micrometer steps. Please note: The instrument cannot be used to mill alloys or implants containing iron or ceramics.

Your Advantages

Providing consistent, high-quality results

The rotational speed of the spindle is adjustable from 500 to 3,000 rpm; material removal thickness can be adjusted starting from 1 µm per layer; and the travelling speed of the sledge can be adjusted according to the properties of each individual specimen being milled, providing consistent, high-quality results.

Specimen size range 80 x 100 mm

Specimen size range from 80 x 100 mm for hard specimens and  250 x 200 mm for paraffin embedded allows sectioning of hard and large specimens.

Layer after layer

Layer after layer of material, each layer of precisely the same thickness, is removed from a specimen block mounted onto a sledge travelling underneath a milling head consisting of a vertical, rotating spindle equipped with a diamond cutting tool on one and a balance weight on the other side.

Excellent edge definition

The surface preparation procedure consists of two different steps: a preparation step carried out with a pre-miller and a finishing step during which a mirror-like surface with excellent edge definition is obtained.
