The forces acting upon the cutting blade during microtomy can be accurately measured by using a load cell. From the information obtained, the optimal knife angles (rake, clearance and slant) can be determined. In addition, the speed of cutting and thickness of sections can also be optimized. The information obtained from the load cell additionally reveals variations in tissue composition which affect the cutting forces. This paper is a preliminary communication to illustrate the possible roles for a modified microtome in (a) the study of microtomy and (b) comparative studies of tissue density.
在切片过程中作用于切割刀片的力可以通过使用测力传感器精确测量。根据获得的信息，可以确定最佳的刀角（前角、后角和斜角）。此外，切割速度和切片厚度也可以得到优化。从测力传感器获得的信息还揭示了影响切割力的组织成分变化。本文是一篇初步的交流文章，旨在说明改进型切片机在（a）切片研究和（b）组织密度比较研究中的可能作用。
