Re: Disposable Blades
From: | Don.Birgerson@leica-microsystems.com |
Hi Anita,
A couple of things you said set off questions. Have you received a
new shipment of blades with a possible lot number change? You mentioned you
had service on all your microtomes, the lubrication on our 1512's may be
different and I bet all the angles settings have been changed in the
cleaning process and need to be reset.
Check your slide sections with a 40x objection and look for the wave
effect.( called "chatter" ) At this higher magnification, it should be
readily apparent that there is a wavy pattern and the thicker part of the
"wave" will absorb more stain and look darker. The harder the tissue the
more a problem is magnified. Check for this "chatter" patern and give me a
call.
