Hi Barbara,
I don't think it's a UK 'thing'. I've known people who cut
sitting down, with the microtome facing them. Not many I will admit,
but some. I personally have always cut sections whilst standing up , and
with the microtome side on. ( for more years than I care to remember )
Never really had much problem with RSI , and hope I'm not tempting fate
by saying so :¬) ( if I do now, I'll be over to see you !!! )

When I was taught cutting with the
microtome (many years ago) we stood
at a counter -
I was told by my teacher - she had
always done it that way - and thought
that possibly her teacher learned histology in England....
So I have continued to do this - no
carpal tunnel -good posture- weight
contol -
But I've been curious - is it done this
way in UK? - does anyone else cut
standing up-
best regards to all "histonetters"
