Aneeta,
I use a leica RM2145 microtome.  It cuts paraffins sections & uses a low
profile disposable blade. You can also get another knife holder for
tungsten carbide knives and block chucks to cut plastics (MMA). It does
a great job on small MMA embedded bone, but it is limited to smallish
sizes.  

As for a tissue processor, I have a Leica TP1050.  It's entirely
enclosed system and works great.  We keep this and our autostainer under
a fume hood and there are absolutely no fumes in this lab.  It's
wonderful!

One word of advise:  whatever company you go with, I would lobby hard to
get service contracts on your equipment.  It costs a bit up front, but
in the long run, you're miles and miles ahead because when you do have a
problem, you're covered. Otherwise, you'll pay far more for one service
visit than the cost of the service contract.    I have all Leica
instruments... automatic stainer, processor, embedder and microtome...
and there are service contracts on every one of them.  This has been
very valuable, especially now that the equipment is a few years old.

good luck!
