We really enjoy cutting on our Leicas.  We like the ease of use, especially
the sliding blade holder.  I had a Microm once, once.
If it was my money I'd put it on the Leica.

Hi. I have to make a decision on a new microtome. I
would like feedback on the Microm 355S automated.  The
other tome we are offered is the manual Leica RM2135.
We do routine parraffin blocks 50 to 90 per day. Any
input is appreciated. It's a long story but those two
machines are our only choice. Thanks, Greg.
