Try larger blades like dermatome blades. These are very sharp and
long.

Hi Everyone,
 
I have a researcher who is working with placenta.  The
problem: she wants to show all the layers, is cutting the tissue 5 mm
thick and cramming it into a cassette, and is not satisfied with the
results.  I have explained to her that it will be necessary to
cut the tissue thinner before placing it into the cassette to achieve
adequate processing, but she states this is too difficult.
