Diatome diamond knives –
development, manufacturing and customer service since 1970

What have we achieved in this period?

ultra 45° the first diamond knife with an absolutely score-free, hydrophilic cutting edge
semi the first diamond knife for alternating sectioning ultrathin/semithin
cryo 35° the diamond knife for sectioning at low temperature cryotrim the diamond blades for perfect sample trimming
histo the first diamond knife for semithin sections for light microscopy
histo Jumbo the histo knife with the large boat for optimised serial sectioning
    ultra 35° the diamond knife for optimised sectioning results in almost all applications
STATIC LINE II the ionizer for eliminating electrostatic charging in ultramicrotomy cryo immuno the optimised cryo diamond knife for the Tokuyasu technique.
ultra sonic the oscillating knife which eliminates compression and improves structure preservation
ultra AFM and cryo AFM the special knife for sample surfacing for AFM investigation
cryo 25° the knife for sectioning frozen hydrated samples with less compression.

These developments were possible by the co-operation with you, our valued customers.
We are convinced that future developments will allow diamond knives to be used for new applications.
