Leica blades and others are usable with the 820. I'll get the part number
tomorow and post it. The 820 will work with most types of blades and
techniques however its at its best with a paraffin embedded specimen. If
you are buying blades in the US my histo friends prefer blades made at the
Gillete plant in Virginia. They would spend a few days a year making all
the disposable blades for Leica. Now they are made in Nueslock, Germany and
just not as good as they used to be.

PS This is what I heard while drinking with my histo friends so in vino
veritas.
