Hey Everyone, I feel like a nut just asking this question, but I do not have an answer. We have a Finesse ME+ microtome that the techs use in automatic mode 95% of the time. They will however, hand trim blocks sometimes that may be difficult to cut. I have 1 tech that turns the hand wheel counterclockwise to face the block then turns it clockwise to cut. Does anyone know if this can affect the inter workings of the microtome?
