A modified anti-roll plate as a remedy for the ill-effects of electrical charge during cryosectioningC Viebahn and HP Luttenberg Institute of Anatomy, University of Bonn, Federal Republic of Germany. This report describes problems commonly encountered in cryosectioning of fragile tissues, such as jamming and scrambling of sections between knife and anti-roll plate. The electrostatic nature of the factors causing these derangements is demonstrated here using simple methods, and several modifications to the anti-roll plate surface are tested for their help in obviating these difficulties. The anti-roll plate material found to be most effective consists of a metal oxide-coated glass which is commercially available at low cost.
