| Abstract: | The design and properties of a rigid, box-like device to be placed on the knife stage of a Porter-Blum MT-2 ultramicrotome are described. This “superstage” acts as a hand and tool rest, and a wind screen for the knife boat. The superstage easily permits tight rafts of ultrathin sections to be centrally located on grids. Additionally, it aids in placing 1 μm thick sections at the same relative location on glass slides to facilitate their examination in the light microscope. |
