Leica CM1950 – Cryostat
Cleaning the knife holder CN
Daily cleaning
For daily cleaning, it is enough to fold the
anti-roll guide system forwards and remove
the section waste from the knife holder using
a dry brush. Please use a cold brush, as
otherwise the section waste will thaw and
stick to the knife holder.
It is not necessary to oil the parts, such
as the T-piece on the microtome base
plate, clamping lever etc.
