Device for manual trimming of tissue blocks for ultramicrotomy.
An instrument for the precise trimming of flat or cylindrical embedded specimens to be sectioned in an ultramicrotome is described. It will produce the required truncated pyramid accurately by hand slicing. A simple modification to the LKB specimen holder allows it to be used with the Reichert ultramicrotome as well.
