Paris quadrifolia (Family: Trilliaceae)
Specimen from the South London Botanical Institute herbarium.
Trillium L., Paris L., Kinugasa Tatew. and Sutô, and Daiswa Ref. are genera of plants found in north temperate forests which make up the family Trilliaceae as defined by Takhtajan in 1987. Much of the current molecular work places the Trilliaceae basal to the Liliales confirming its place as a primitive monocot.

The Albert Hall is just about one of the best buildings in the world. It's like a catherdral, except sometimes it is rammed full of people, all reverent and buzzing to see what they came to see. The atmosphere is electric and going to the proms is something that everything should do. It only costs five pounds! What is stopping you?!?!?

August 20, 2007 changed my life with the birth of my son, Dru Macaullay Allen. The nurse snapped this picture as the doctor pulled him out. He was delivered by c-section, which is pretty obvious.

Rotary Microtome for cutting thin sections of histopathological or other specimens. Made by C. Reichert Optische Werke AG in Vienna, Austria, probably around 1950.
A microtome is a mechanical instrument used to cut biological specimens into very thin slices for microscopic examination. A sample of tissue is prepared and placed in paraffin wax block which is mounted on the microtome and moved toward the blade of the microtome. As the block is moved toward the blade, very thin flat sections are cut for each upward movement. These sections are very thin and translucent and are studied with a microscope.
This microtome has a green finished metal casing. On the side is the rotary hand wheel which, when cranked, moves the specimen up and down and towards the blade by the set thickness. The specimen holder rotates to the desired angle.
Cutting sections are obtained in different thickness by adjusting a knob located on the rear: range 1-25 microns.
On the front is the stage for the microtome blade. The blade holder unit rotates to the desired angle for best sectioning. It has forward and backward movements to ensure contact of specimen with the knife.
