Subject: Blade holder for high profile, heavy duty blades


Hi everyone,

We are looking for a new blade holder that will work in a sliding 
microtome to section celloidin embedded temporal bones.  We want
to use high profile blades that are heavy duty to reduce chatter.
We found several sources for the blades, but we can't find a holder
that will hold a blade that is both high profile AND heavy duty 
(.033"-.035" thick).Does anyone know of a supplier of a holder for 
this type of blade?

Thanks in advance,
