We have six Leica RM2255 and they are great workhorses. The automated controls
are flexible as they can be on either side or on top of the microtome as needed
or is most comfortable. I personally like using the foot pedal for facing the

Thermo Shandon Finesse is my favorite. Manual version requires oiling which
is easy and gives you a good reason to keep it clean inside. I got one for

best microtome I have ever seen. Someone that has never cut before could

We recently purchased a Leica microtome and all seems to be going very well. It
cuts beautifully. Just warn students not to clean the machine with xylene as
ours did and smudged the writing on the microtome.
Good luck
