Hi, RJ!
You stated:
"My application is obtaining high-quality cross sections of
multilayer film using a cryostat microtome, for optical and FTIR
microscopic analysis.
Does anyone have any experience with an application of this ilk? If
so, I'd really like to compare notes."
1. Well...been there, done that, NOT easy! Sounds like a perfect
opportunity to use a tape-transfer technique. If you are not
familiar with this technique, see
http://www.instrumedics.com/cryojanetapetransferprocess.htm.
2. I would definitely use a high profile disposable blade.
3. Wear red the day you try sectioning! Now, there is no scientific
evidence that this helps...it just seems to work for me:-)
Good Luck!
Linda (wearing red today)
