The one from Microm is very good and easy to use.  All the control
buttons are on the microtome.  There is also one from Leica that we have
that is good, but it's a bit more cumbersome with the control panel
attached to a keyboard and a cord to the left of the microtome.

Subject: [Histonet] Opinions on motorized microtomes wanted

I'm looking to buy a motorized paraffin microtome.  I have been looking 
to see what is out there, and there seems to be quit a few.  I would 
like to get feedback from people who have used them.  I have a problem 
with my shoulder and the continuous motion of using a rotory microtome 
is a issue for me.
