For purposes of control and timely elimination of microvibration arising during the cutting of ultrathin tissue slices, a method is proposed using the piezocrystal, which is secured to the epoxy block with the help of melted paraffin. The elimination of microvibration is carried out by changing the angle of inclination or the speed of cutting in a broad range from 1 to 15 degrees, and from 0.5 to 5.0 cm/sec, resp. The noise and vibration outside the ultratome does not induce microvibration during the ultrathin slice preparation.
