Just a word of caution that unless you are quite sure of the cleanliness of
your cryostat, or the infectious status of the specimens cut in your cryostat,
freezing spray is the worst product to use in a cryostat. It creates
aerosolized particles that can linger, and infect, for hours.

I need to test it.

Increase that friction.

We have 3 new leicas and we constantly have to adjust them. They creep forward
so much that I just automatically know to roll it slightly back after every 4
specimens or so. The new leica designs are just bad and customer service is
