[Histonet] Cutting speed

[Rene J Buesa]

You asked "how long does it take to (approx) to do 40 blocks an hour", well it takes an hour.
If you meant "how long does it take to do 40 blocks", the answer is 1.7 hours, because the average cutting speed is 24 blocks per hour.

I graduated from a histology program in June/11 and just got a job a week
ago.  My speed on the microtome is not great.  Everyone says it takes time
but I feel my technique may be wrong.  To make matters worse the only other
histotech in the lab is going on vacation the third week of January and I
will be alone!!!!! I don't have the overall flow of the lab down yet and
have no idea how they expect me to handle the cutting all by myself.  My
biggest concern is my cutting speed right now.  How long does it take
(approx) to do 40 blocks an hour.  Currently, I'm about half that!  I'm
panicking and I've only been on the job 8 days.  Help!!!!!!!!!!!
