[Histonet] Microtome Alignment

[Martin, Gary]

As an old carpenter I quickly adapted a "speed square" to do pretty much
the same thing as the $775.00 unit or the torpedo level.  The speed
square has the advantage of squaring the block holder to a true flat
surface (the base of the microtome) it works quite well ... it is
positive and quick.  See the Ace website below. I also use the torpedo
level as a double check.

I just went to Newcomer Supply to see what you get for $700, not much. 
Go to Ace Hardware and get each employee one of these. It will work just

as well and works on any microtome. Buy your staff lunch with what you
save.
