[Histonet] opinion please

[Rene J Buesa]

Michelle:
The motorized microtome was introduced specifically to alleviate the carpal-tunnel syndrome quite frequent in histotechs that have been sectioning for years.
It is very advantageous and can take care of the trimming necessary to reach the area that is going to be sectioned and even then it can take care of sectioning for which it has different speed modes. Another advantage is that the rhythm is aways constant and can be regulated.
They are a good investment.

Hi
I would like your opinion of the manual vs semi/fully automated rotary
microtome, especially with regard to stress on the hands.
Thanks
