Amos, indication it is the most practical answer. Histology it is a combination

Hi,
     My favorite tool works on all microtomes and is priced perfectly. The
knobs on the block holder move the block so when it looks like you are going
to cut too much of a block you turn them and, voila, a perfectly aligned
microtome.

We are having a continuing issue of too much tissue being cut off when
facing off a block for recuts. We have tried a couple of different methods
for aligning our microtomes without much success.  Does anyone out there
have any advice on how to properly align them and what tool to use?  Also,
how often do you perform this re-alignment?  The majority of our microtomes
are older so more wear and tear and things move out of place more often. Any
help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

RE: [Histonet] Microtome alignment

[Tom McNemar]

I assume you are referring to a small carpenter's square.  That will only allow 
you to square up the chuck from top to bottom.  It would not work for left and 
right adjustments.  Marketlab sells an alignment tool that they claim will work 
for multiple microtomes.  I have not tried it though.  It lists for $775.

I have considered having a piece of steel welded to an old knife holder and 
just adjust the chuck until it is flat against the steel.  Should work and 
won't cost $775.

A while back I remember someone suggestion something like a right angle
device that carpenters use.  It's basically just a piece of metal that is a
right angle triangle that you put up against the chuck and on the knife
mount.  Then you align the chuck so it is a a right angle to the knife

RE: [Histonet] Microtome alignment

[joelle weaver]

This is a learned histology skill, but there are some devices which can be used 
to align different microtomes available, and you can test your adjustments with 
"blank" blocks. Also newer microtomes have a device on the block holder that 
will align the position in the X-Y axis in the "zero" position.

RE: [Histonet] Microtome alignment

[WILLIAM DESALVO]

Since you have older microtomes, I suggest using an "alignment block" at each 
microtome instead of purchasing the alignment tools. The tools can be found on 
the web  ttp://www.grale.com.au/products/view/804 , but they can be expensive 
(as much as $700.00 each). If you have more than one manufacturer for your 
microtomes, you will need to purchase one for each brand.
 
Try using your largest embedding mold and make a blank block for each 
microtome. This can bee done first thing each morning. Use the block to align 
the chuck each morning before cutting. If you see drift throughout the day, add 
one or more checks during the day. Making a fresh block each day gives you a 
good standard and keeps the variation down.
 
I also suggest you look at your embedding method and make sure you have a 
standardized procedure for all tissue types for orientation of tissue and exact 
placement in the mold. Embed your tissue on one plane with as little paraffin 
as possible on the bottom of the mold. Reducing variation at embedding will 
greatly assist you in reducing the amount of "facing" required to start 
producing sections and also reduce the need to align the chuck to the 
block/tissue.

RE: [Histonet] Microtome Alignment

[Martin, Gary]

As an old carpenter I quickly adapted a "speed square" to do pretty much
the same thing as the $775.00 unit or the torpedo level.  The speed
square has the advantage of squaring the block holder to a true flat
surface (the base of the microtome) it works quite well ... it is
positive and quick.  See the Ace website below. I also use the torpedo
level as a double check.
