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 - 
Jackie O'
