MT8481 DIATOME Knife No: MT8481 Size : 3.0 Type : Ultra Knife angie : 45µµ Tested with Cl.angle : 6µµ Speed : 1mmul Ultra Diamond Knife Highest quality diamonds and optimal crystal orientation guarantee perfect ultrathin sections and a durable edge Section pick-up is facilitated as the boat is horizontal allowing the water to completely fill the boat all the way round A hydrophilic surface makes it easy to wet the cutting edge, even with a low water level. Ultrastructure of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans. Scale bar = 1¥ìm., Thomas Müller-Reichert, EM TechnologyDevelopment, MPI Dresden, and Kent McDonald, Electron Microscopy Laboratory, University of California, Berkley. ultra 35¡Æ and ultra 45¡Æultra 35¡ÆIn 1989 J. C. Jésior (Ref. Jésior) demonstrated considerably reduced compression, smoother section surfaces and improved structural preservation thanks to the use of our ultra 35¡Æ knives. In the meantime, a large number of scientists have recognized the advantages of 35¡Æ knives, in particular for sectioning Lowicryls and non-homogenous specimens, as well as non-decalcified bone, dental materials, etc. The ultra 35¡Æ knives are perfect for sectioning relatively soft materials research specimens including metals and polymers, as well as hard specimens such as semiconductors, superconducting oxides, catalysts, nano-crystalline ceramics, etc (Refs. Mahon, Glanvill, Swab, Quintana, Maniette, Schubert-Bischoff). The ultra 35¡Æ knife has demonstrated it's usefulness as a standard knife for the majority of applications in both biological and materials research. The ultra 35¡Æ knife (in the triangular holder) with a cutting range of 100nm - 2¥ìm is used for dry sectioning of epoxy or acrylic resin embedded biological samples, which need to be investigated by element analysis (Ref. Edelmann) and SIMS (Ref. Guerquin-Kern). The gliding of the sections on the dry knife surface is facilitated with the use of our Static Line II ionizer. ultra 45¡ÆAcknowledged as the appropriate knife angle for routine sectioning of both biological and material research specimens, it represents a balanced compromise between section quality and durability.
