Hi,
I used embedding rings back in the 80s and still use the chuck adapter for
large blocks. I do eyes.
I have a couple John's Hopkins chuck adapters and could loan you one.
Send me a picture of your microtome with a closeup of the chuck adapter to see
if it will fit.
Do you have an old AO 820 sitting around? I know it will fit it.
The old Leica 1512s had an adapter that would work too.
Otherwise, I suggest just re-embedding.

Hi,
I received a lot of specimens embedded in plastic embedding rings...have a
Leica RM2135 microtome.
How can I put these blocks in the clamps of the microtome?
Searched Internet with zero success.
Nobody in town ever used embedding rings so I can not borrrow an adapter if
that's what I need.
Could anybody please help out?
Re-embedding the tissue in regular cassettes would cost the client a lot of
money.
Thanks,
