发明名称 CUTTING APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATED TISSUE SAMPLE PROCESSING AND IMAGING
摘要 A method is provided for cutting a tissue sample into sections. A blade having a first reference line is provided that extends from an attachment point of the blade to a rotation mechanism to an outermost point of the blade. Also provided is the rotation mechanism having a second reference line that extends from an axis point of the rotation mechanism to the attachment point. Further, a tissue sample is provided that remains stationary for at least a portion of a cutting process by way of a holding mechanism. By way of the rotation mechanism, the blade is caused to rotate such that a first rotation of the blade causes a first cut of the tissue sample that produces a first tissue section.

主权项 1. A method for cutting a tissue sample into a plurality of sections, the method comprising: providing, a blade having a first reference line that extends from an attachment point of the blade to a rotation mechanism to an outermost point of the blade, andthe rotation mechanism having a second reference line that extends from an axis point of the rotation mechanism to the attachment point, wherein the blade rotates around the axis point, and wherein an angle between the first reference line and the second reference line is an acute angle; providing the tissue sample that remains stationary for at least a portion of a cutting process by way of a holding mechanism, wherein the cutting process cuts the tissue sample into the plurality of sections; and by way of the rotation mechanism, causing the blade to rotate such that a first rotation of the blade causes a first cut of the tissue sample that produces a first tissue section, wherein the tissue sample, by way of the holding mechanism, remains stationary while the blade makes, at least, the first rotation.
