 Prepared and cut with the Large Sliding Microtome a 

 Anatomy School, Cambridge University. 



Sliding Microtome, new pattern, large, capable of cutting sections embedded in 

 celloidin and measuring 150 by 120 mm. (6 in. by 4| in.). 



General. This Microtome has been designed for cutting flat sections up to 150 x 120 mm. (6 in. x 

 4| in.). It is capable for cutting through decalcified bone or cartilage, and is being found extremely useful for 

 cutting sections which are too large to be cut with either of our two rocking microtomes. Fig. 3 is an illustration, 

 full size, of a complete section of the human leg six inches above the ankle, prepared and cut with this new micro- 

 tome at the Anatomy School, Cambridge University. 



Capability of the Instrument. The microtome will cut sections measuring up to 150 x 120 mm. (6 in. x 4$ in.) 

 in either paraffin or celloidin. The thickness of the sections can be varied from o to 0.06 mm., each division on 

 the scale being equal to 0.002 mm. The total distance through which the microtome will automatically feed the 

 object-holder is 21 mm. 



Advantages. Some of the principal advantages of this microtome are : 



(1) It is extremely powerful and will cut through decalcified bone and cartilage. 



(2) It will cut sections from very large objects. 



(3) It will cut either paraffin or celloidin sections. 



(4) It is designed on geometric principles so that even after many years' wear it will still cut true sections.
