Re: [Histonet] AO Blade holder
Am I getting multiple mails or is it simply that David Waugh doesn't know how to use a listserv? From: David Waugh dwa...@kent.edu To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 3:08:08 PM Subject: [Histonet] AO Blade holder I have a question regarding a AO disposable blade holder (Cat# 824). This link should show a picture of a similar one www.usedmicroscopes.com/images/AO820Microtome.jpg The blade is tightened with a lever on the right that rotates a d-shaped cam. Two screws are used the set the tension that the cam places on the blade, once set, the cam will tighten and loosen the blade. The back of the holder is concave, and the front part convex, so that when tightened, the blade will bow. I have not been able to find any documentation on how tight the blade should be. It sounds like most holders have flat surfaces that clamp the blade, which I would think would have very different tightness requirements. Any ideas from someone who uses this type of holder on how the two screws should be set?

Re: [Histonet] AO Blade holder
Again I apologize for what was an honest mistake. I tried looking at the list server home and could not find information regarding the time it takes a post to appear and rules regarding text formats etc. The page I found had only information on how to subscribe or unsubscribe. If there is other information I missed it. -David On Apr 1, 2009, at 1:30 PM, Bernie Taupin wrote: i guess thats why most people would, you know, read the listserv instructions before making triplicate posts. speaking of, sorry you feel like my one note about it has cluttered up peoples email boxes more than your three posts. did you fail math or something?

I did not know how to use THIS listserv. Some listservers block urls, rich text etc. It was not clear to me if there were improperly contained with my message. I was unsure if histonet did, and it was not apparent that the email was going through. My apologies, although your email and my response have further cluttered up peoples email boxes. -David On Apr 1, 2009, at 9:16 AM, Bernie Taupin wrote: Am I getting multiple mails or is it simply that David Waugh doesn't know how to use a listserv?

Re: [Histonet] AO Blade holder
With the lever loose, tight the two screws in a way that the blade is free and can be moved in any direction. The lever will lock the blade and it should be tighten all the way.
