Dear Shirley and HistoNetters,

I've been out of the country and I'm still sifting through my e-mails, so
please forgive the delay in responding to this post.

Shirley Chu asked about "Vibratomes."  "Vibratome" is a registered
trademark of Technical Products International (TPI).  TPI have 5
authorized distributors in the United States (we are one of them).

Several other companies make vibrating blade microtomes, including Dosaka
EM in Japan (Microslicers), Leica, EMS and ourselves (the "MicroCut").  I
would encourage Shirley to compare the specifications of all the
different models.

Best regards,
Steven E. Slap, Vice-President
