Re: [Histonet] . Refurbished Leica RM2135
Sandra, On some holders you can easily convert back and forth from low to high. If your service person does not know anything about that, I would ask Leica. Specifically ask for a tech rep with the most microtome experience (in years). That person should be able to tell you what part you need. They may even have an old one lying around for you. Also check with some of the more established labs in your area, they may have a blade holder that you can get for parts.

(I have used low-profile blades forever.) 2-There is a slot on the bottom of the blade holder, and I seem to remember that it can be converted to a low-profile holder by sliding an narrow metal strip into that slot. I know I've done this before, but it was long ago, and the used equipment guy says there's no such thing. Thank you! Sandy Sandra J.

Re: [Histonet] Refurbished Leica RM2135
From sugh expensive blades can be done more very good sections (at 3 microns) from any difficult type tissue. These investments will pay off very quickly.

Re: [Histonet] Refurbished Leica RM2135
Sandra, high profile blades was better for me, because they are harder and more durable than low profile of any manufacturer. Also I recommend for you to try Surgipath DB80HS. They must better than 818. I regret that not having bought a holder for a high profile blades. Leica makes the blade holders only for one type blades (low or high). Microm's blade holder made for both type blades. -- Sincerlely, Maxim Pehkov Russia, Taganrog. ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
