SCISSORS
Fig. 49.—Scissors
Almost any sort of scissors (Fig. 49) will do for histology work, but a small scissors with fine pointed blades, are preferred. Scissors are useful in trimming labels and in cutting strips of leaves and sections of fibrous roots that are to be embedded and cut.
SCALPELS
Fig. 50.—Scalpels
Scalpels (Fig. 50) have steel blades and ebony handles. These vary in regard to size and quality of material. The cheaper grades are quite as satisfactory, however, as the more expensive ones, and for general use a medium-sized blade and handle will be found most useful.
