Some people make up all of their slides in advance and lay them out by their
microtome.  It would be easy to accidentally pick up a slide that does not
correspond with the block being sectioned.

how do you put the worng tissue on the wrong slide. i know for a fact you
can only operate one microtome at a time. i have tried to use two at once,
when very busy.
