[Histonet] plastic embedded bone sections

From:"Michael J Voor"

Dear Histonet,

We are trying to section PMMA (Technovit 9100 New) embedded
undecalcified bone samples (rat tibias).  We plan to use a Microm
sliding microtome.  We need advice on exactly what blade to use and what
blade angle would be best to create sections on the order of 7-10
microns.  Thanks for any help.
