Microtome Types and Applications
Q: Which type of microtome is most commonly found in a routine histopathology laboratory for cutting paraffin blocks?
Did You Know?
True. Isopentane is a good heat conductor and remains liquid at very low temperatures when supercooled by liquid nitrogen. Plunging tissue into it causes extremely rapid freezing, which results in the formation of tiny ice crystals that cause minimal distortion.
