[Histonet] Microtome adjustment?
Thank everyone for all the great info and assistance in solving my problem. Paul, I am keeping you on my LIST for future repair needs. The problem turned out to be a 'fixable' one. One of our grad students had used the tome last week and adjusted the 'spring screws' behind the blade holder? This allowed the blade to move ever so slightly during the cutting process. I am sooo glad that I wont be losing my favorite piece of equipment, albeit an antique, just yet.

[Histonet] microtome calibration
Has anyone had problems with the calibration of an A/O Spencer sliding microtome? I have used this one for years and now I am getting 'thick-thin' sections? I thought maybe the accumulation of oils in the mechanics of it have slowed things down. Can WD40 be applied without adverse effects? I certainly would not attempt opening up all the gears!! Any suggestions would be appreciated or if a medical equipment repairman is reading this - I really need this thing fixed.
