[Histonet] need help in selecting blades for Microtome Leitz1512 and good place for service

[Bader Siddiki]

Hello Histonets
I need some help and advice from you experts.
We are new in cutting formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue
sections.
We need your advice.
We have a used Leitz 1512 microtome.
------- perhaps it needs service, can you recommend a good and reasonable
place.
--------what  will be a good disposable blades to buy for cutting FFPE
tissues sections (mostly soft tissues like colon, stomach, skin, cancer
tissues  etc).
--------this  instrument needs a blade holder, what would you recommend,
Leitz does not sell blade holders for this instrument anymore.
--------any good technique for cutting tissues for a person who is not
expert.
--------good place to buy formalin fixed tissue blocks for research use.

Thanks a million.
Bader
