I'm looking for some opinions about the automated microtomes currently
available. Which ones do most techs prefer? Which are more reliable? Is there
an advantage to having a semi-automated microtome?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Although almost 20 years ago, the reference lab I worked in had similar
expectations. They also had no idea that GARBAGE IN= GARBAGE OUT, and we had an
unusually high number of recuts. Smaller sections in the cassette or longer
fixation would have reduced that number.

How long are your specimens fixed for before processing?
