• Static electricity charge may be built up on the knife holder or the specimen head: Adjust temperature or humidity level in the room. Use an ionizer to neutralize the static charge. Clean components of the microtome with alcohol. Check to see if retract is turned on or off. • Adjustment of the retract value may be needed: Increase the retract value to a maximum of 50 microns. If you like to rock, then use rocking mode.
