[Histonet] Any opinions on these microtomes?

Tue Dec 16 17:06:43 CST 2008

Hello everyone,
   Has anyone had any experience with the HM 340 E (Mikrom) or the
Rotary Microtome RMTs 40, 50 or 60?  We are looking to get a new
microtome for paraffin sectioning but, would like one that is suitable
for plastics in case we move that way in the future.  These were
recommended to me by a sales associate but, I would like to hear if
anyone has some firsthand experience with any of these and what his or
her thoughts are.  
Thanks a bunch,
