One technique I use to cut uterus is to face the blocks at room temp, or even a
little warmer. Then I place them on my ice tray and allow them to chill and
soak up a lot of water. Then they are cut last in my set. This allows them to
"cut like butter". My micrometer is set at 3, not 4, and I get nice thin,
smooth sections. No chatter, or swiss cheese. It works really great when
there are fibroids, because then knife goes through with less resistance.

Would anybody like to share their histology techniques learned over the years?
An example would be putting alcohol in the water bath to keep out wrinkles.
Another could be as simple as blowing on a block while cutting with a
microtome. I love learning new techniques. They can be common simple
practices or uniques techniques that techs may not know.
Thank you
