Veronique,
May I ask what type of specimen is embedded into the JB-4 resin? Nevertheless,
you should be able to cut these blocks using a tungsten-carbide knife. While
there are a few vendors out there that sell these knives, in my laboratory I
personally use knives re-sharpened by Delaware
I've only cut resin with a glass or diamond knife in an ultramicrotome. If you
are attempting to do it in a regular microtome, you would need a special blade
holder. I don't know if any microtome manufactures make glass knife holders.
You make the glass blades yourself using special glass.
Yes brightinstruments, com make glass knife holder and tungsten carbide tipped
knives for microtomes,
