Given that human chromosomes are on the order of 5 to 10 microns, I am thinking this export regulation doesn't apply to the hobby market. This is "use the machine in a clean room" level precision.
@FearTheCron @YourAvgDuckHead According to encyclopedia Britannica, I'd say a fairly reliable source, your out by a factor of 100. https://www.britannica.com/science/chromosome
A human blood cell is approx 10 micron long, according to this... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2998922/
Apologies for the pedantry, I couldn't help it.
Hehe, I just grabbed the number off wolfram alpha's size comparison. Wouldn't surprise me if they are wrong, not sure where they scrape the data from. Anyway, my point stands, six microns is still stupidly small. Some dust or hair on the cutting edge and your precision is now out the window.
