[Histonet] Equipment available to my lab... but what are they?

[GT Hebert]

Hi all,
 
We have some equipment in our company that is being transferred from one location to another.  Someone sent me photos of Leica equipment and I did a quick search to see what they are .... but I needed some clarification as to what people use them for, to see if it will fit my current lab and need:
 
1. Leica VT100E 
2. Leica SM2000R 
 
Does anyone use these??  
What are some specific applications that make it different from a regular microtome or cryostat?
 
Thanks
 
Gustave
