| Zusammenfassung: | A microtome comprising a knife holding device for a cutting element (
16
) and comprising a specimen holding device (
12
) for a specimen which is to be cut thin is described. Associated with the specimen holding device (
12
) for performing a cutting movement is a first drive device (
18
) and associated with the specimen holding device (
12
) or the knife holding device is a second drive device (
38
) for performing a feed movement. A sender (
20
) is associated with the first drive device (
18
). The sender (
20
) is connected with an electronic control means (
28
). Control of the first drive device (
18
) is effected by means of a first operating element (
28
). Control of the second drive device (
38
) is effected by means of a second operating element (
44
). To achieve an excellent degree of operating comfort for the microtome the first operating element (
28
) has two control modes, namely a standard mode and a second mode. In the standard mode the cutting movement of the specimen holding device is controlled by rotation of the first operating element (
28
). In the second mode a continuous cutting function is activated by pressing the first operating element (
28
). Corresponding to the first operating element (
28
) the second operating element (
44
) has two control modes, namely a rotary mode and a pressing mode. |
