<p>Apparatus for cutting a section or slice from a biological specimen comprises a body in two separable parts (10, 11) which, when together, define a specimen cavity (21, 22) which is disposed partly in each of the two body parts. When together, the two body parts have confronting surfaces (17, 18) which define a guide for a slicing blade so that the blade may perform a cutting action transversely across the specimen cavity (21, 22). A respective piston (23, 24) is adjustably mounted within each cavity part to permit adjustment of the effective volume thereof. By locating a specimen in the cavity, closing the two body parts (10, 11) and adjusting the two pistons (23, 24), it is possible to cut a relatively thin slice or section from the specimen.</p> |
