[Histonet] changing from high to low profile blades

[Kapoor, Sue]

Hi all,
 I have a Reichert-Jung 2030 microtome that I recently changed the back
plate on so that we can use low profile blades. We're expriencing alot of
problems in sectioning now, finding it extremely difficult to get a ribbon.
The sections just compress at the blade. I've tried adjusting the angle, (it
had been at 3 micron), didn't seem to help....any suggestions??????!!!???

Thank you,
