These are names commonly used to refer to this manufacturer of microscopes and microscope parts, even if they are not official. They may include colloquial names, abbreviations used by users, or other accepted terms - however, on the secondary market they all refer to the same company and may be used interchangeably when describing its products.

# Belongs to category:
Housings and its parts

# Description and specifications:
This is a replaceable module for handling the knife in the Leica CM1800 cryostat/microtome.

Important: The Leica CM1800 cryostat is exactly the same device that was also sold under the name Reichert-Jung CryoCut-E. Why? After Leica acquired Reichert-Jung, both companies sold technically identical products for a certain period under their own brands while maintaining separate model names. All service and spare parts are identical for both devices.

This knife holder is therefore compatible with:
- Reichert-Jung CryoCut-E
- Leica CM1800

However, it is highly likely that it also fits other models with the same or similar design, because knives are compatible across many models and a well-designed knife holder was often used in multiple subsequent models.

Other commonly used names for the entire device:
- cryotome
- cryostat
- microtome
- cryo-microtome
- freezing chamber

Other names used for this component:
- knife / blade holder
- knife / blade mount
- knife / blade clamp

Note that different terms are used for the knife in microtomes / cryotomes:
- PL: nóż
- PL: ostrze
- EN: knife
- EN: blade
- DE: Messer
- DE: Mikrotommesser
- DE: Klinge
- DE: Mikrotomklinge
