Donna,
Quality
stuff, the 1212 I use, on a daily basis, was bought in the late 1950's
and it's as good as new. Keep it clean, a wee bit of oil on the bearings
and it will last for ever. My base-sledge was made by the MSE company in
London as part of WWII reparations and again it's like new.
I realize
that hospital labs work to a different agenda where speed and ease are
important but for research labs, well, the basic technology hasn't
changed so why stop using an instrument that produces perfect
sections.
Alright, I
know I'm sad, but I keep a Cambridge rocker ready just in case and if
that fails, pith and a razor blade are within easy reach.
Ian.

I have a Leitz Wetzlar type 1212 rotary microtome. I have never
seen of
this model. A hospital in Lincoln City Oregon asked me if I could
use a
microtome and I said yes. I had no idea it was this old. I
have been in
the field for over 25 years and I have never seen this model. Does
anyone
out there have any idea how old it might be?
