Abstract
The present invention relates to a microtome () having functional regions to be operated manually, in particular a sample holder (), a cutting device (), a section removal system (), and a section collection pan (). A microtome () is described in which the particularly firm contact or adhesion of sectioning waste fragments and, in particular, of thin sections can be at least largely avoided. For this purpose, the microtome () according to the present invention is characterized in that the components of the microtome () that can be brought into contact with paraffin sections are embodied in electrically conductive fashion.
