Fellow Microscopists,

This is not a direct confocal question but I have great confidence in your expertise - we are planning to do very fine optical measurements from tissue sections, therefore, control of thickness and of even surface is critical.

Which are the most accurate and reproducible microtomes on the market for paraffin or frozen blocks? Does laser-based tissue sectioning equipment exist.

Any suggestions are welcomed, including replies from manufacturers.

Thank you,
Judy
