[Histonet] On the hunt for new microtomes!

[Rene J Buesa]

As far as I know Leica Microsystems has bought/absorbed along the years many optical/instruments makers, such as Baush&Lomb, American Optical, Cambridge Instruments, Wild-Heerburg (Switzerland, although this one was a "reverse" acquisition), Australian "Bond" manufacturers, NOVOCASTRA laboratories BUT I have never heard that it has bought Sakura instruments. It would be nice if somebody has reliable information about this alleged acquisition.René

 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,
