Abstract
THIS year the Cambridge rocking microtome, one of the most familiar instruments in biological laboratories, attains its jubilee. The Cambridge Scientific Instrument Co., Ltd., has issued a new folder, illustrating this instrument and also a more heavily built and modified form of it for cutting flat sections of larger objects. The folder shows in addition a massively built sliding microtome, the design of which was completely overhauled two years ago, which cuts large sections, 60 mm. x 60 mm., in either paraffin or celloidin, and a freezing microtome of new design. Hints on the care and sharpening of microtome knives are added.
