Barbara,
All the Aussie and New Zealand techs I worked with in Saudi Arabia cut while
standing. They also turned the microtome sideways (hand-wheel towards you).
Some liked to work in teams, one cutting and laying out sections, one
picking them up.

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"
