A low priced, efficient frozen section cutting device is described to produce 5 microns sections of frozen undecalcified bone specimen blocks in routine pathology. The device was developed by combining two commercially-available instruments, namely a frozen section microtome with methyl alcohol cooling and a hard tissue microtome. Bore holes were drilled in the hard tissue knife to permit cooling, using the methyl alcohol system of the other microtome.
