Alfcrofome Sectioning of Material in Paraffin 41 Metal mounting disks (Fig. B) afford greater rigidity than plastic blocks and are indispensable for cutting very thin sections, or for sectioning large pieces of firm material. Disks remain cold longer after chilling, thereby keeping the paraffin block cold for sectioning. Disks are much more expensive than homemade blocks, and most laboratories have a limited supply, making them unsuitable for the routine sampling method described above. Some microtomes have a built-in tissue-mounting disk on a ball-and-socket joint. This device is satisfactory for work in which each piece of material is used up at one cutting, thus emptying the carrier for the next piece or for the use of other workers. For class use or for work requiring much sampling of diverse materials by several workers, removable disks or blocks are much more desirable. To fasten a piece of material on a mounting block, trim the paraffin around the material so that the cutting plane is Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Sass, John E.
