[Histonet] Cryostat anti-roll plate

[Anne Murvosh]

We have 3 new leicas and we constantly have to adjust them. They creep forward so much that I just automatically know to roll it slightly back after every 4 specimens or so. The new leica designs are just bad and customer service is even worse. We have to use the plate as we do Mohs specimens and the sections are just better with the glass plate. I want to look for a different machine next time. We did test the Avantik and it cut nice but the glass plate was on the front and got in the way. I wish they would talk to Mohs techs before they design these. Oh well. No tricks just constant adjusting. Thanks Anne

Hi everyone. Does anyone regularly use the anti-roll plate on their cryostat? Does it work well on the Leicas and Microms, or do you have to figit with it a lot? Does anyone have any tricks they can share to get it to work all the time?  I found that a little spritz of freeze spray on the plate and the bottom of the roll glass helps, but it is still seems a lot easier for us to use a brush or a teasing needle.
