I am purchasing my second Leica RM2255 automated microtome. Rene' is correct in
saying that the carpal tunnel syndrome will eventually affect every advanced
tech by using any microtome manually. On the RM2255, the flywheel additionally

We have 4 Thermo Excelsiors and prefer them to the VIP we no longer use. It is
ease of changing reagents and programming as well as working better for our
tissues. We also have Leica ASP300 that is used for only one type of tissue so
we no longer need to change it weekly and expose personnel
Excelsior Great workhorse. Very little to no down time. Less tech time
needed as reagents dump and rotate automatically. User friendly.

I am in love with the Excelsior from the standpoint of hands off daily
maintenance. Waste paraffin is pumped into a container with a liner, you let
it solidify and remove waste in the bag for easy disposal. Pour a couple bags

Hi,
In Trichrome staining not excellent results are always obtained by fixing in
NBF alone.
Often the advised fixatives are:
- Sublimate-acetic
- Zenker's liquid
- Telleyesnicky' s liquid
- Müller's liquid added with a formalin solution
- or re-fixing by Bouin's liquid
