Hi Larry
We have an ancient Reichert sledge microtome. We have a disposable knif=
e
holder and use Feather S35 blades. We have also experimented with knive=
s
from CL Sturkey Inc some of which are good for really hard wood species=
but
not so good for pine which is 99% of our work. I believe we also bought=
the
knife holder from Sturkey as well. Feather blades should be available f=
rom
your local consumables supplier. (eg.
http://www.emsdiasum.com/microscopy/products/histology/sectioning.aspx)=
.

Greetings
I'm trying to find disposable microtome knives and holder to work
with our antique sliding microtome, but the available selection seems
to be large, and confusing, and expensive if I guess incorrectly.
Somebody out there must have done this already. Any suggestions as to
what has worked or not worked? Anybody have a set up that works for
wood sections that I could attempt to duplicate? Items readily
available from US supplier are preferred. Just makes purchasing that
much easier.
I think the reusable knives I have are "C" style.
Microtome was made by Spencer Lens Co., with just a thumbscrew clamp
to hold the knife and holder in place.
All suggestions and leads appreciated.
