[Histonet] What is a great manual mirotome

[JR R]

I paid $30.00 for my  pre-owned Spencer 820.  Liked it so well I bought two.  It has served as a virtually foolproof and indestructible workhorse for 22 years.  I have produced, literally more than a tone of slides with it.

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!
