[Histonet] How about another cryostat request?

[MVaughan4 <@t> ucok.edu]

Histonetters,
I have read some of the archives about cryostats, some like Microm, others 
Leica. I finally managed to scrape together about 15K to spend on a 
cryostat, but the cheapest (not necessarily the best) I found was a Thermo 
Richard Allan HM550 SDM (Stripped-Down Model, haha) for 16K, but it 
recently went up to 20K so it is pretty much out of my market. I plan to 
use a cryostat to section mostly skin and artificial skin tissues about 4 
um thick. Does anybody have any idea what I should be looking for? Thanks 
for your help.
