The section can be prepared and finally removed from the saw blade. For the preparation of very thin sections of about 20-30 microns thickness, it is recommended to stabilize the section during the sawing process. To do so, a glass cover slip can be glued onto the trimmed surface of the specimen block using cyanoacrylate glue.
