A tool and a method are provided, for applying a correction on a resection margin of a tissue block, in order to align the resection margin with the cutting plane of a microtome. The correction is determined using an embedding block having been cut by the microtome. The tool comprises a base, a chuck receiver, a positioning assembly comprising a flat surface and a bi-axial pivoting assembly operatively connected to one of the chuck receiver and the positioning assembly. The positioning assembly and the chuck receiver are movable one relative to the other for pressing the embedding block between said flat surface of the positioning assembly and the top surface of the chuck, for tilting the bi-axial pivoting assembly according to a compensating angle indicative of the correction to make. |
