A microtome for frozen sections was developed using the facilities and equipment available in our country. The requirements for making it were: 1) fast frozen of the tissue, 2) easy histological procedure, 3) no necessity of long period for preparation of the tissue for histological procedure, and 4) low cost for making. This study shows results obtained by using the microtome for frozen sections of brain of rats.
