Abstract
A simple and accurate modification of the Spencer Model 820 rotary microtome is described in which the specimen is caused to withdraw from the knife on the upstroke. The modification, when used with glass knives, allows methacrylate-embedded tissues to be easily sectioned in the 1 to 5 β range. Interconvertibility from normal to modified operation is accomplished by simply turning a cam into one of two positions.
