Hi Li,
      Our Leica-Microsystems has a line of microtomes  RM2255 and RM2265
that can  handle your requirements and improve on your sample options.
These microtomes come from a refined routine microtome and can cut 0.25 to
60 microns and section sizes from 2mm to 25mm. There are six different
knife holders and specimen holders so it can be configured for the task the
operators is trying to accomplish. Give me a call and I can elaborate for
you.

Subject: Good microtomes replacing JB-4

Dear all histonetters,

We're in search for a microtome which could provide similar or higher
quality plastic sections as the DuPont Sorvall JB-4 microtome, which has
been discontinued. I would appreciate your inputs very much if you could
suggest any.

Thanks,
Li
