Perhaps the Pathologists can answer my question. Why do you need a
1µm wax section. I was trained to use the fine focus control on a
microscope and my brain to think 3 dimensionally, after all we live in a 3
dimensional world. Moving the fine focus control up and down reveals the
wonders and delights of a specimen. Structures that a 1µm section will
never demonstrate become apparant. Cell and tissue relationships flood your
eyes and brain with their striking beauty, so why hide them with 1µm
sections.
	I accept reasonably thin sections are necessary  for ICC, but why
1µm.
