A friend and I were talking today and came up with questions about
microtomes and tissue size that we are not familiar with. Could you experts
in the field help us?

1.	What is the largest tissue one can cut with a sliding microtome?

2.	Are there 2" x 4" glass slides that can be used for large pieces of
tissue?

3.	How many sliding microtomes are still being used? 

Thanks for your help! J
