[Histonet] Cryostat cutting head temperatures

[Ken Marzinsky]

I was asking about the cutting head temperature because the Leica CM3050 literature says the cutting head can be adjusted down to -50c separately from the chamber temperature. Does anyone out there use this unit? It seems to be very popular with the research community.  Do you ever adjust the temperature of the cutting head down that low, or do you just adjust the chamber temperature? Why would you ever use this separate feature?  Why would you chose this unit over the 1850?
