5.4.2 Setting the sectioning window
The term ‘Sectioning window’ stands for a dif-
ferent (slower) speed setting in that part of the
sectioning stroke where the specimen is actual-
ly cut, while the remaining sectioning stroke
(above and below the specimen) as well as the
retraction (return) stroke are carried out at a
higher speed level (time-saving feature).

If a sectioning window is set, speed inside the
