What Is the Simple Microtome Used For?

Section cutting is a core practical in plant anatomy: transverse sections of monocot and dicot stems and roots, and sections through leaves, show vascular bundles, cortex and other tissues that cannot be seen in a whole specimen. Cutting freehand with a blade gives uneven slices of varying thickness. A simple microtome holds the specimen steady and helps students take thinner, more even sections, so more of them are usable once stained and mounted.

In general the specimen is held firmly, raised a little at a time, and a sharp blade is drawn across it in one smooth stroke for each slice. Soft material is often supported in pith or a similar holder, and cut sections are floated in water in a watch glass before the best ones are stained and mounted on a glass slide under a cover glass. Keep the blade wet and sharp, cut away from the fingers, and clean and dry the microtome after each class.
