[Histonet] peltier vs. refrigeration cold stage for sliding microtome

[Gareth Davis]

About a year ago, the company I worked for bought a sliding microtome and freezing stage from Richard-Allen Scientific.  I was very satisfied with the both the Micon microtome and the freezing stage.  I do remember that Richard-Allen had to had to do a special order on the freezing stage, becuase they didn't keep it in stock, but they were more than helpful with finding it.  I was the stage that had the "cups" on either end to hold the dry ice chips.
Hope this helps.

Dear Histologists,

I am beginning the process of looking at cold stages for a sliding microtome. 
Does anyone have experience or opinions about the usage of peltier stages as 
opposed to refrigeration stages? I would also appreciate any information on 
which companies have these for sale.

Thank you once again,
Kathy Walters
