Hi, all. A bit of an odd question: a colleague knows of someone wanting to cut paraffin sections who has a cryostat, but no microtome. Since a cryostat's basically a microtome in a freezer chamber, I thought that it may be awkward, but theoretically doable once it was brought to room temp and dried out thoroughly. However, I wondered if lubricants formulated for the cold might become too thin for use at room temp, possibly causing damage to moving parts. Any thoughts?
