[Histonet] Input on automated microtomes....

[Smith Wanda]

Tom,
I have only used the Microm HM 355S, and loved it.  At one point I could
cut faster on it than a manual microtome.  Easy to use and the ones I
have had were little to no maintenance.

It's budget time and I am in need of at least one automated microtome.
I would appreciate any thoughts or recommendations you might have.  I
would like one that also works manually.  I budgeted for a Leica last
year but it didn't get approved.  This year, I'm asking for two...
(maybe I'll get one).

I never really thought I'd like an automated microtome but the pain in
my shoulder is telling me that I might like it now.
