Wow that’s hard! I’ve probably cut up 1000s of specimens and stained 1000s of slides. Probably in the tens of thousands. I can cut up to 100 a day if I’m working flat out!!! Very busy!!
That is a really hard question and one that I have never worked out. Some weeks I do lots and lots of experiments, whereas other weeks I spend a lot of time preparing things for new experiments. But if I do 2 experiments a day, that is 10 a week and I have been working for 5 years then: 10 x (52 weeks in a year minus 6 weeks holiday – i.e. 46 weeks) 46 x 5 = 2,300. This seems like a lot now I have added them all up!
