[Histonet] Thanks for all of the Microtome feedback

Thanks for all of the Microtome feedback, it has been very helpful.  It sounds like everyone that has the RM 2235 loves it, and are not having a lot of problems.  Our Leica RM 2235 has problems with blade holder tension. We worked with Leica when it was just about 14 months old but they were no help. The problem is the front portion of the blade holder that clamps the blade in place is too thin or just not made of strong enough material. We don't have much tension on the blade while sectioning but the plate starts to curl or bend at the top where it meets the blade. Then the blade tension is inconsistent and the sectioning is inconsistent. We have been using a Leica 2030 blade holder for the last few years but its a little too short. Any suggestions on a blade holder ???? Has anyone had similar issues with their RM 2235 ???? 

Thanks !
