What Do Microtome Accessories Include?
Microtome accessories are the tools used around the cut itself: a razor to slice the block, the stone, plate and strop that keep its edge, moulds that cast the wax block and a cassette that holds tissue during processing. This category holds one listing, Microtome Accessories, made for histology, botany and zoology labs. It groups a tool steel microtome razor in 120, 140 or 160 mm, a leather strop, a honing stone, a glass honing plate, L-moulds and a stainless steel mesh tissue cassette. JLab (Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd), Ambala, India, makes them.

How to Choose Accessories for Your Microtome

- Whole group or single items. Order the full group for a new bench, or only a strop, stone or moulds as spares.
- A razor on its own. The Microtome Razor range lists a sectioning razor as a separate item for hand and table microtomes.
- Holding the block. Spare clamps for rotary microtomes are in Microtome Object Holders, a set of three.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which way should the edge face when honing and when stropping?
On the stone or glass plate the razor moves edge first, so the abrasive cuts a fresh edge. On the leather strop it moves back first, with the edge trailing. Pushing the edge into leather would cut the strop and roll the edge over.
How is the bevel angle kept the same on every stroke?
Keep the back and the edge of the razor flat on the stone together, so the back sets the angle. Use light, even pressure along the whole length and turn the razor over on its back at the end of each stroke.
How can I tell when honing is finished?
Look along the edge under a hand lens or a low-power microscope with light falling on it. Nicks show as bright points. When none remain, a fine burr is left, and a few strokes on the strop remove it.
How are the L-moulds set up for a block?
Lay two L-pieces on a flat glass or metal plate and slide them to form a rectangle a little larger than the tissue. A thin smear of glycerine on the moulds and plate lets the set wax come away cleanly.
How should the razor be stored between classes?
Wipe it clean and dry, give the blade a light film of oil against rust and keep it in its wooden box. Never let the edge touch other metal tools on the bench.
