[Histonet] block alignment

[Bartlett, Jeanine]

The literature I have shows that it fits the majority of Microms.  I
know they are now the distributor but that hasn't always been the case.
The one Newcomer has fits Microms and Leica, I believe.

	It only fits their microtomes.

	        Jeanine,
	       
	        I believe we have 7 Histo Collimators here and I've used
one for
	at least 5
	        or 6 years and I couldn't go without it.  Using the
Collimator,
	I usually
	        waste less than 10 microns worth of tissue on an outside
block
	face-in.
	       
	        Thumbs Way Way Up on block aligners,

	        Hi:
	       
	        Does anyone out there have any experience with block
alignment
	products
	        such as the Microtome Aligner from Newcomer or the Histo
	Collimator?  We
	        receive a huge number of outside blocks and I adjust my
block
	holder
	        accordingly, but others in the group say it's easier to
re-embed
	all
	        outside blocks (Yikes!) and then have every microtome
aligned
	the same.
	        I was just wondering if these aligners work and if so
perhaps it
	could
	        be an alternative for those individuals that normally
would
	rather
	        re-embed than realign.
	       
	        Thanks!
