The type of tissue, the speed of sectioning, the knife bevel and the type of
paraffin (melting point) influence the clearance angle.Anywhere from 5 to 10º
(preferable 5-6º) are the most used.René

Good afternoon,
Can someone touch base with me regarding the clearance angle of the microtome
blade? How would you describe a blade clearance angle that is too great or too
slight, and what microtomy problems are you likely to see with each? There
seems to be conflicting information out there (or at least varying
perspectives).
Thank you!
