I just wanted to say thanks again to all of those on histonet. The questions that are asked go a long way in teaching troubleshooting. Also, a few weeks ago the question was asked about purchasing forceps. I don't remember when or who. One of the suggestions was jewelry forceps from craft stores such as Hobby Lobby. That was a great suggestion!! I took a field trip to Hobby Lobby and found some nice curved forceps with ergonomic finger pads for $3.99. Instead of ordering from Hobby Lobby, I called the distributor and was able to get 15 pairs for $2.99. The tension and the weight of the forceps are good, and have a non-stick coating. We will be placing them in our microtomy kits for next year. For those interested, I also found Collins Scalpels (paraffin knives) at D R Instruments for $6.45 each if anyone needs some.
