[Histonet] tissue slicer

[Kathleen Roberts]

Hmmm, sounds like a really tiny egg slicer.  :o) 

The only thing that I could think of-and it doesn't match your required 
thickness-was this:

This will help you make accurate freehand sections of 1mm thick, but 
again you can't make all the slices at once.

Good luck-
