An improper blade angle can lead to various issues during the sectioning process: 1. Compression Artifacts: An angle that is too steep can compress the tissue, causing artifacts. 2. Chatter Marks: A shallow angle might lead to chatter marks or microvibrations, resulting in uneven sections. 3. Tissue Folding: Incorrect angles can cause the tissue to fold or roll, complicating subsequent staining and examination.
