Dear Ed,

I am not sure where you to buy the Minot type microtome (probably TBS,Inc.)
but we have found that DuraEdge blades work the best and cost about 1/2 the
price of the AccuEdge.  We buy ours from Statlab Medical Products- We buy
all of our histology supplies from them because they are great!  They can be
reached at 1-800-442-3573 ext. 14.  I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Beth Poole
