I certainly do agree. That is why some techs now prefer to cut standing up.

Why do you suppose that those of us who spent many hours,
days, and years
cutting on the old black AO microtomes did not, and do not,
seem to have the
carpal tunnel syndrome that is so prevalent now? Do some of
you other "old
timers" also agree with this. I know that that sat much
lower and were more
comfortable to use than some of the newer microtomes, which
require that you
elevate your arms more. That may be some food for thought
in this for some
of the current designers.
