Kathy,

I use a Jung Sliding Microtome and use low profile disposable blades on it
using a knife holder that was especially made by Sturkey of Lebanon,
Pennsylvania designed to fit my slider.  I can use it to cut some bones and
I like using it whenever I can because it saves on knives and using the
knife sharpener. Sturkey's phone number is 1-800-274-9446 if case you are
interested.

Hello again,

I have inherited an A/O Reichert Sliding Microtome Model 860.  We would like
to 
use disposable blades in it.  Has anyone done this?  Is there such an 
attachment?  Any ideas welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Kathy
