Difference between a Manual, Semi Automatic and Fully Automatic Microtome

In a manual microtome, specimen feed and the rotary motion (cutting stroke) is done by hand.
In a semi automatic microtome, specimen feed is motorized but the rotary motion is still done by hand.
On the other hand in a fully automatic microtome, both the specimen feed and the rotary motion is motorized.
