ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for the archival storage of tissue sections which have been cut from a sample block by a microtome blade includes a tape bearing serially-spaced areas of adhesive material, generally the same size as the surface of the tissue sample block. The tape may be delivered from a feed reel by a feed roller mechanism. Between each cut, the tape is advanced to align the adhesive area on the tape with the tissue sample. An application roller presses the adhesive against the sample, the section is cut, and a takeup roller lifts the tape and section away from the blade. The tape may then be wound onto a takeup reel for archival storage. The entire process may be automated, including the operation of a transport mechanism to move the apparatus away from the tissue sample during microscopic imaging.
