Characteristics of Diamond Knives

*DiATOME knives are compatible with all ultramicrotomes*
The boat is designed in such a manner that the water is horizontal when the clearance angle is set. This results in a stationary water surface and good reflection. The shape of the boat offers you the advantage of an easy pick-up of the floating sections. The surfaces of the DiATOME diamond knives are hydrophilic. This property allows an easy wetting of the cutting edge, even with a very low water level (important for sectioning Lowicryls and other hydrophilic embedding media, as well as for water sensitive samples).		The diamond is high vacuum brazed onto a metal shank which is securely screwed into the boat. The cementing material seals boat and knife. It is hydrophilic and aids the easy wetting of the cutting edge.
