[Histonet] Sectioning on different microtomes

[Bernice Frederick]

I'm on the same page as you Jenaine- we get blocks from all over so we are
constantly rearranging the block holder. We also do have  a histocollimeter
to get the Microms back in line (it doesn't fit on the Leicas.

I simply align my block holder to match up with the block.  We get many
outside blocks so I have learned to be pretty good at this.

How are people lining up the microtomes so they cut in approximately the
plane.  I use the old fashioned "test paraffin block" method but it just
seems so time consuming and it doesn't always yield the best results
especially if you are having techs line up there own.  Our paths have
complained about recuts being too deep.  HELP!!!
