There are Tissue-Tek Mega cassettes but they are twice as deep for thick
samples.  I get them from Sakura cat. No 4173, not sure if this is what you
want.

		I am looking for vendors that sell the mega cassettes.
		The current cassettes I purchased do not fit the cassette
chuck on our
		microtomes.
		These cassettes have a hinged closure.
		We have Richard Allan Micron machines.
		The cassettes are short and slightly not wide enough.
		They cannot be held tight in place for cutting.
		Are there any other version of the mega cassette in the
market place?
		Thank you,
