DESCRIPTION OF UNIT:
A Leica 2125RT microtome is available for sectioning of processed blocks. This microtome is designed for use with disposable microtome blades. For in situ work, an additional set of specimen plates is provided. However, these plates are held in common among MIH users. Frequent users may therefore wish to purchase their own specimen plate. Equipment is located in room 930, Pharmacy.

A list of consumables and standard procedures for histology users is provided here.
The standard MIH template for immunohistochemical staining procedures is given here.
The standard sample blocking nomenclature for neurologic samples is provided here.
