A block-module constructor for the assembly of rotation microtomes is described. The microtomes are used for cutting fixed and native tissues. The basic rotation microtome is the main element of the microtome constructor. A set of changeable modules enables one to assemble microtomes on the basis of the basic rotation microtome for cutting fixed embedded tissue, 5-20 microns thick, fixed nonembedded tissue, 75-300 microns thick, native tissue, 150-600 microns thick, as well as a microtome-vibratome (the thickness of sections is 50-200 microns). A universal microtome combining all the mentioned-microtomes may be designed. The problems of fixed and native tissue microtomy are discussed in the paper. |
