Hi histonetters,
Well, I just acquire a Leica SM2500S polycut heavy duty microtome and could use your help. Everything seems to be working however I cannot get the knife holder to automatically descend to account for the desired micron setting in either the manual or automatic modes. The knife just moves back and forth over the block without cutting a actual section. However, in the setup mode, I am physically able to move the knife holder up and down with the arrow keys. I have the manual and have loosened and tightened the knife holder screws a million times. Unfortunately at this point I can't tell if it's something simple or that the particular mechanisms that performs this action is broken. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I can also be contacted offline at the phone number below. Thank you all.
