Abstract
The microtome of the present invention includes a base, a knife for cutting a sample, a knife holder fixed on the base and holding the knife, a carrier bar carrying the sample at the leading end thereof and vertically traveling with the trailing end as a fulcrum. A bar traveling mechanism supports and moves the carrier vertically. A transmission lever transmits force to feed the leading end of the carrier bar toward the knife. A support plate is mounted on the base and rotatably supports the transmission lever. A tension spring pulls the carrier bar toward the transmission lever. A lever moving mechanism is in contact with the transmission lever.
