[Histonet] peltier vs. refrigeration cold stage for slidingmicrotome

[Alan Bright]

Dear Kathy,

We manufacture both systems the two Peltier solid state type, have
cooling outputs for a 30 X 30mm stage is 15watts @ 0ºC & 40 X 40mm stage
is 25 watts @ 0ºC.
The refrigerated Stage type cooling output for a 90 x 130mm stage is 300
watts @ 0ºC decreasing to 125 watts @ -30ºC. 

With this information you will need to decide which suits the sizes and
sectioning temperature of the specimens required for sectioning best, If
you require any additional assistance, I will be only to willing to
help.

Best Regards

Alan Bright

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
