Received this question but I don't have any experience cutting this thick.
Does anyone have suggestions for him?



 I am trying to cut 40 micron sections of brain tissue (mouse)
>embedded in paraffin.  The sections don't come off the knife well and if I
>do get them they crack later.  I seem to be able to get 5 micron sections
>from the same block ok.  Is it possible to get 40 micron sections and if so
>are there any "tricks" to doing it?  Thanks again for your help.
