The variability of wood anatomical features in the rings of trees and shrubs is known to be dependent on multifaceted environmental parameters. The ability to determine anatomical variations over longer time periods as decades or centuries is a step forward in dendroecological and dendroclimatological research. In this regard micro sectioning is still one of the basic requirements but sectioning devices (microtomes) designed for wood anatomical purposes are rarely available. We present an affordable heavy duty, but light-weight microtome operated with removable blades. This portable device enables the production of large sections for dendroclimatological reconstructions as well as various types of common sections for wood anatomical studies. (c) 2013 Elsevier GmbH.
