providing your tissue is not too thick, you can hold two hard backed razor blades together with a screw type tubing clamp. Placing a metal spacer between the backs will give you the thickness of slice that you need.

	Hello,
	We are using razor blades to slice tissue. I am wondering if there is a
	special tool that has two blades 2-3 mm apart so that the slice can be made
	by one cut and slice should be more flat. Anybody has idea where I can find
	it or it's just not practical?
	
	Thanks,
	Wendy
