We are also a research lab and do both decal and non-decal bone from mouse to horse. We have three Leicas, 2 RM 2255 and one older RM2155. They are all motorized and we love them with tungsten carbide or disposable knives. We have them for 3 and 4 years with never a problem.

We are a research lab sectioning mainly mouse tissue, and mainly decalcified bone. We have beginners to experts in the lab all who will need to use it. It's been a while since I have been in the market for a microtome, so although I have my own opinion already I wanted to know what the current thoughts are - in case I am missing something.
