ultra sonic
The knife was developed in collaboration with Dr. Daniel Studer, Lab. of Anatomy, University of Berne. The ultra sonic knife produces ultrathin sections almost free of compression. The sections become thinner at the same thickness setting: since the volume of the section remains the same, the increased length leads to a decrease in thickness. The best possible structure preservation may be expected, using the ultra sonic knife.
We have tested the ultra sonic knife with the following samples:
| Biological samples in Epon, Araldite, EM Bed, etc. |
| Biological samples in acrylic resins (Lowicryls, LR White). |
| Rigid polymers such as PS, PMMA, ABS, HIPS, modified PP, etc. |

Polycarbonate modified with rubber, sectioned with the ultra sonic knife.
