[Histonet] microtome

[Pamela Marcum]

We are also a research lab and do both decal and non-decal bone from mouse to horse.  We have three Leicas, 2 RM 2255 and one older RM2155.  They are all motorized and we love them with tungsten carbide or disposable knives.  We have them for 3 and 4 years with never a problem.

What is the best microtome on the market these days? 

We are a research lab sectioning mainly mouse tissue, and mainly 
decalcified bone. We have beginners to experts in the lab all who 
will need to use it. 

It's been a while since I have been in the market for a microtome, so 
although I have my own opinion already I wanted to know what the 
current thoughts are - in case I am missing something. 

Thanks, 
ANDREA
