Can someone tell how this device works? I have never heard of it.

The one from Newcomer is just under $800.00 (if memory serves) and the
Histo Collimator is around $2500.00.

We currently are using the one marketed by Newcomer, which is
the same one that has been previously mentioned as being designed by Mr.
Davis in Colorado. They have two separate ones, one which will fit
Leica and a different one which will fit Microm. They are not cheap,
but it only has to save one specimen to be worth the money. Our techs
didn't like them at first (felt they were a waste of money), but have
grown to appreciate the importance. I don't have any experience with
the Hiso Collimitor.

The literature I have shows that it fits the majority of
Microms. I
know they are now the distributor but that hasn't always been
the case.
The one Newcomer has fits Microms and Leica, I believe.

It only fits their microtomes.

Jeanine,
I believe we have 7 Histo Collimators here and I've
used
one for
at least 5
or 6 years and I couldn't go without it. Using the
Collimator,
I usually
waste less than 10 microns worth of tissue on an
outside
block
face-in.

Hi:
Does anyone out there have any experience with block
alignment
products
such as the Microtome Aligner from Newcomer or the
Histo
Collimator? We
receive a huge number of outside blocks and I adjust
my
block
holder
accordingly, but others in the group say it's easier
to
re-embed
all
outside blocks (Yikes!) and then have every
microtome
aligned
the same.
I was just wondering if these aligners work and if
so
perhaps it
could
be an alternative for those individuals that
normally
would
rather
re-embed than realign.
Thanks!
