ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for mounting a tissue specimen on a chuck for sectioning in a cryostat including a base, a clamp for receiving a tissue preparation slide, a chuck holder secured to the base for holding the chuck in a predetermined orientation relative to the clamp, a support secured to the base and extending therefrom and terminating in a distal end, and, means for slideably securing said clamp to said support. The clamp is positionable between a first location in which the clamp is at a minimum distance from the chuck holder and a second location in which the clamp is at a maximum distance from the chuck holder. A method for using the apparatus is likewise disclosed.
