Re: [Histonet] Histology bench ergonomics
The only thing I don't recommend is standing while cutting. I did this
for years, sometimes 8 hours or more at a time. Talk about spaghetti
legs.

Does anyone have any data or information on bench height for microtomy?
I
know a lot of people cut at routine lab bench height (36" I think) with
no
trouble, and some cut at desk high benches (30"). Is there any
safety/ergonomic guidelines or opinions as to which is better for
microtomy? I actually prefer desk height, so I can keep my feet on the
floor - I'm just wondering if there is anything official out there -
I've
looked at a couple of sites, but can't find a lot to support my idea
that
desk height is better.
Thanks -
