Remove the coverslips from the slides and place the slides in a slide holder.

Fixed blades can be interposed between the mobile blades.

By bringing the multiple upper blades and the multiple lower blades closer together, the tips of the multiple upper blades and the tips of the multiple lower blades are pressed against a magnet in order to cut the magnet into multiple magnet pieces.

The supplemental blades (101) are provided between the first blade assembly (51) and the second blade assemblies (52a, 52b).

The sectioning blades are aligned with the intermediate portions of the wave-shaped blades.

The blades(2) are arrayed on the cutter shaft(1) with certain intervals, and embossed parts(4) which clamp and fix the blades(2) are provided on the cutter shaft(1) between two adjacent blades(2).

The blades (10) are arranged into at least two rows of blades.

The lower blades and the upper blades being similar, each formed from a single blank.

The inner blades (40) have main inner-blade walls (41), multiple blade pieces (42), inner-blade holes (43), and internal inner-blade spaces (44).

The louver blades comprise main louver blades (90) and sub-louver blades (91, 92, 93).

The relative spaces between the side guards, between the blades, and between the side guards and the blades are adjustable.

The control apparatus can therefore compare the current leaf positions to the signalled leaf positions, and move the leaves and the carriage accordingly.

The stationary and orbiting scroll blades are intermeshed together to define one or more interblade pockets.

The outer blades (21) have outer-blade holes (21A).

The slide frames are removable so that the histotechnician may load the five or so slides that each frame holds in groups of five.
