[Histonet] What is a great manual mirotome

[jsjurczak <@t> comcast.net]

We have tried the Leicas thru the years and found that post 2030's that our arms were not long enough to turn the handwheel without completely straightening our elbows. This led to soreness in our elbows. Their microtomes kept getting larger and larger with the handwheel further back. The 2125 solves that problem for us. We really like ours.

I've always been a fan of the Leica microtomes, I've used all kinds, from 
the Leica RM 2025 Microtome to the Leica RM 2265. A good non-automated 
version is the RM 2235. I've also used the Microm (thermo-fisher-shandon) 
HM325S which work well. The Sakura Accucut SRM is manufactured by Leica, I 
believe it is equivalent to the RM2025. I however have never used the Leica 
2125. I've always had good service from them, especially if you have a 
service contract. Good luck!
