We've used Microm microtomes for years and they have always been 100% trouble free.

Lecia makes the Sakura microtome.  We have both Sakura and Microm
microtomes in our student lab.  They have both proved to be reliable.
There is a difference between a Shandon microtome and a Microm microtome.

I don't know now, but some years ago Thermo instruments were less that
reliable. Try Leica or even better Sakura.René

 Hey HistoNet,

Thanks to everyone who helped me out by providing their opinions on
embedding centers.  This time, I need everyone's thoughts on microtomes.
My lab is debating between the Thermo/Microm HM355S and the Leica RM2255.
Your thoughts and advice are very much appreciated!  If there are any more
I should try, let me know!

Thanks again,
