We consider the problem of slicing a compact metric space \Omega with sets of the form \pi_{\lambda}^{-1}\{t\}, where the mappings \pi_{\lambda} \colon \Omega \to \R, \lambda \in \R, are \emph{generalized projections}, introduced by Yuval Peres and Wilhelm Schlag in 2000. The basic question is: assuming that \Omega has Hausdorff dimension strictly greater than one, what is the dimension of the 'typical' slice \pi_{\lambda}^{-1}{t}, as the parameters \lambda and t vary. In the special case of the mappings \pi_{\lambda} being orthogonal projections restricted to a compact set \Omega \subset \R^{2}, the problem dates back to a 1954 paper by Marstrand: he proved that for almost every \lambda there exist positively many $t \in \R$ such that \dim \pi_{\lambda}^{-1}{t} = \dim \Omega - 1. For generalized projections, the same result was obtained 50 years later by J\"arvenp\"a\"a, J\"arvenp\"a\"a and Niemel\"a. In this paper, we improve the previously existing estimates by replacing the phrase 'almost all \lambda' with a sharp bound for the dimension of the exceptional parameters.
