What are the Potential Issues with Thickness Adjustment?
Several issues can arise if the thickness adjustment dial is not used correctly:
Inconsistent Sections: Variability in section thickness can lead to uneven staining and difficulty in interpretation. Artifacts: Incorrect thickness settings can introduce artifacts such as compression or tearing of the tissue. Equipment Wear: Overuse or incorrect use of the dial can lead to mechanical wear, affecting the precision of the microtome or cryostat.
