microtome

>that I use a Freezing Platform from a company in Boston called Brain
>Research Labs.  I also visited other local Labs sectioning rat brains on
the
>sliding microtome and they were also using the freezing platforms from
Brain
>Research Labs.  I have no knowledge of a peltier system or Frigimobil
>system.  Could you elaborate on these?
