[Histonet] cutting with glassknifes

[Gudrun Lang]

Dear histonetters!

I have a question for the experienced histo-people.

Is it still in practice to use glassknifes for cutting on rotary- or
sliding-microtomes? For plastic-embedded tissue in light-microscopy?

Or ar glassknifes only found in EM-technique?



I am just curious, because I assume, it is a rather difficult skill to
handle.

I made a short internet-search, but got no hints on this issue.



Thank you and kind regards

Gudrun Lang
