I always found better and used a wet camel's hair pencil. It provides the
most gentle pull on the sections.

Every tech in my facility uses something different. Some use fingers,
some use
forceps (usually curved), one uses a teasing needle and one
I use the end (without bristles) of a paintbrush

I use curved forceps to hold the ribbon and a paint brush to release it
from the knife edge. The curved forcepts help to separate the sections
and remove air bubbles.

We use fingers...I am not aware of any kind of forceps.
But along with you i am also curious to know if any thing else is
available.

Depending on the size of the bone the Leica 2255 is a great mictorome to use
with tungsten carbide blades. It is heavy enough to larger blocks and is
motorized. If it is not motorized I would not try it for as that will give you
the best results.

Amos, indication it is the most practical answer. Histology it is a combination
of skills, art, and science.

Subject: [Histonet] Microtome alignment
To:
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.
