Laser microtome
The laser microtome is an instrument used for non-contact sectioning of biological tissues or materials. In contrast to mechanically working microtomes, the laser microtome does not require sample preparation techniques such as freezing, dehydration or embedding wikipedia.org

How to operate a microtome? ![enter image description here]( In the picture above (Source: Amazon.com, United Scientific MCT001 Hand Microtome) we can see a microtome. How is it operated?
The minimal increment for this kind of microtome is 10 micrometers. The razor knife is used to cut the slices of the specimen.

Vibratome
vibratome is an instrument used to cut thin slices of material (although, usually thicker slices than those cut in paraffin-embedded samples using a microtome It is similar to a microtome but uses a vibrating blade to cut through tissue. wikipedia.org

Serial block-face scanning electron microscopy
Advantages and disadvantages A disadvantage encountered with the SBEM method is that the thickness of the slice which can be removed with the ultra-microtome Because cutting by the ultra-microtome is extremely fast (comparing to the milling process in FIB-SEM), it can expose a wide area of the material (x and wikipedia.org

Neural circuit reconstruction
Imaging The sample may be cut into thin slices with a microtome, then imaged using transmission electron microscopy. Alternatively, the sample may be imaged with a scanning electron microscope, then the surface abraded using a focused ion beam, or trimmed using an in-microscope microtome wikipedia.org
