Histo knives

These 45° angle knives are designed for sectioning hard and soft biological and material specimens which have been embedded in acrylic or epoxy resins for optical microscopy. The knives are capable of cutting sections from 0.2 to 5 μm thick, free from score marks or compression, and are ideal for serial sections. They are available in a range of sizes and are also available for cryosectioning. They can be used with all ultramicrotomes and microtomes having a retraction of the specimen in the return phase.

These 45° knives have been designed for room temperature sectioning of histology specimens, and are available with edge lengths of 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 mm and section thicknesses from 0.2 to 5 μm. They have a large boat for easy retrieval of sections.
