My 'two cents worth' is that you try Sakura for the closed processor
(VIP5) and embedding centre and Microm for the motorized microtome.
Reliable, ergonomic and VERY user friendly.

Hi Everyone,

Miraculously I have money to spend on new, yes new, histology lab
equipment.
Does anyone have any experience with the Shandon Pathcentre enclosed
tissue
processor, the Shandon Histocentre 3 tissue embedding centre and the
Shandon
Finesse Model ME motorized electronic microtome?  Are they reliable and
user
friendly, ergonomic etc.  

Thanks in advance for your time. 

Cheers
