I have heard of both methods, currently we put double ribbons on one slide. The only time we have repeats is if the initial cut is superficial.

We presently put three levels on one slide. Exp. we face the block, cut a ribbon and take one section of that ribbon and catch on the slide. We then progress into the block and repeat the process until we have three levels on the slide. The new suggestion is to simply face the block, create a ribbon, and take three to four section of that ribbon and that's it no more progression into the block. The thinking is that the Pathologist will see what they need to in those levels, and if not they will call for "deepers". I have never cut like this and just wanted to hear some thoughts on this method.
