sired for -thi's'purpose (insome'cases' as thin' as 0.1 micron or vabout 0.000004A inch) presents exceptional diiiiculties and is 'generally beyond the ability of slicing machines" heretofore available.
In -my present invention I 'provide a microtome carrying a slicing blade which 'moves' at ahigh velocityyasfor example, at a velocity of V-500 to` 600 feet per second,l transversely of the specimen.
lustrated, by way of example, inthe accompany-:: v ying drawings in which- Fig. l is a side view and Fig. 2 an edge viewovf a rotor for moui'it'in'g'y the cutting blades; Fig. S-is a detail view on a somewhat larger scale 05a. page 0f the rotor and cutting blade; Q,"

It
is balanced by a 'blankso mounted on the disc as to provide an equal and opposite centrifugal When a, rod of the material to be sliced, and of a small' diameter, as for example one-sixteenth of an inch, is movedrslowlylongitudinally and parallel to the axis of the disc against the blade while-the disc is rotated at ahiglrspeed, as for example '70,000 revolutions per minute', slicesof' the specimen arecut to th'edesired thinness and may be caught on a suitable screen for micro-v scopic -investigation.
During rotation'the blade must be supported and held without substantial vibration. The
supporting disc has, therefore, a long hub for mounting ona .coned spindle and tapers radially on a concave taper to a narrow margin in which' the blades are mounted and secured. For this purpose a pair of slots are provided in balanced or diametrically in opposite positions in the edge of the disc, in one of which a knife blade is mounted and secured by a pair of screws and a clamping plate tting into and opening through one face of the disc, and in the other of which a balancing blank is similarly mounted. One radial edge of the knife is sharpened toward the leading face against which the specimen stock is to be fed. This leading face may also slope away from the cutting edge by a slight angle, so as to clear the cut surface of the specimen.
The various features of the invention are il-Y 'spindle ll ofjtapered or Vconed surface on which. it may'be'lsecured by va cap l2 and yscrew I3. The v. rotor li! is widened atits central part to form a 'long hub portion t4 from which it tapersconcavely as at i5 to a relatively 'thin edge margin.
The'surace of the tapering part l 5 is pref'era-v bly concaveinwardlyon a line whichin crossk section is of circular curvature. The curvature lis suchasto 'reducefthe centrifugal force in .thev disc to' aminimum and to Amaintain greater strength where the tension is greatest.
Ondia'metrically'opposite sides of the disc are v provided'slots"for mounting a cutting blade or konsolede e6 adja'blank n. As shown more "particlilarlyin Figs. A3,4 and 5 the blade is inserres radially' late a. no1-, l e' which' extends ln` wardly'a' limited distance from theA peripheral surface of the disc. This slot is somewhatv larger in dimensi'onthanthe blade and preferably one face le of the slot is'on the median plane of the` disc, that isf, it ishalf way between the opposite' iaces'of tneimarginal part. This leaves a `rela-A rtively thinner wall Ztl' on one side and a relatively thicker wall Von the opposite side of the slot. An opening 22, preferably of circular formation, is formed in the thinner wall 20 and is filled with a Vplate 23. A recess 24 is similarly formed in the outer face of the thicker wall 2| and is filled With a plate 25.
The plates 23 and 25 and the wall 2l at the bottom of the opening 2li are provided with a pair The part 28 of the knife I6 that is received in vthe slot I8 has a similar pair of spaced openings The plates 2a kand 25 win, of course, be noshV with the parallel marginal surfaces of the disc. The blade I6 has a part, indicated at 3l, that projects beyond the periphery of the vdisc with a cutting edge 32. This cutting edge is somewhat in advance of the radial line ofthe disc on which the openings 29 and 39 are centered and is preferably advanced slightly beyond the leading edge of the part 28, as indicated at 33 in Fig. 3
i The cutting edge 32 is formed by grindingfthe leading edge on a plane 34 at an angle 35 of 39 or lessandthen on a larger angle 36.- The face 31 of the blade against which thejspeoimen is to be fed isalso cutaway at a slight angle 38 so as to clear the` newly out surface of the speci-men. The blank l1 is received in a slot similar to the slot land on the diametrically opposite part of tn'edisc..V t is securedtherein by a clamping plate, similar to the plateY 23, and screws 39 as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. It is of suiciently greater mass, th an ,the knife IG to compensate for the projection of the knife blade beyond the edge of the discs, and to provide a centrifugal force equal to that ofthe knife whenthe disc'is rotated. The additional mass may be provided'by making the blankof vheavier material and of a larger size.
Withea'ch rotation of the blade a slice of the speciifneumay be obtained, the thickness of which may beycontrolledby the Vrate of feed of the specimen relative Ytothe speed of rotation of the disc.J t
