A microtome ( 1 ), having a knife ( 9 ) for sectioning a specimen ( 5 ) for subsequent microscopic examination, is described. The microtome ( 1 ) comprises a cooled specimen holder ( 2 ) for receiving the specimen ( 5 ), the specimen holder ( 2 ) being connected to a coolant circuit ( 3 ). Additionally associated with the specimen holder ( 2 ) is a cooled thermal conduction plate ( 4 ) that can be placed over the specimen ( 5 ).
