Hand-Operated Microtome
We had recently introduced this item to our catalog. Upon experimenting with it, we have decided not to recommend it.
The barrel of the unit has too much "play" for our liking (this will lead to non-uniform sections). We also didn't like the blade provided with the unit. While it is possible for a skilled person to cut sections with it, the straight-razor blade flexes too easily and also introduces needless danger. There are some posts on message boards around the Internet that discuss using a carpenter's wood chisel instead of a straight razor; we have not yet tried this ourselves, but it makes more sense.
We do plan in the future to offer bench and student microtomes if we can find reasonably-priced ones with better blades.
