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

Donna Leica makes a microtome series RM2200 that allows you to cut sections with the knife guard up. You will be able to decide whether you would like a rotary microtome or a automated microtome. I see that you like the Leica CM3050. The comparable microtome for paraffin cutting is the RM2255.
