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

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 mount.

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

I just went to Newcomer Supply to see what you get for $700, not much. Go to Ace Hardware and get each employee one of these. It will work just as well and works on any microtome. Buy your staff lunch with what you save.
