Finally, one trimming knife for all of your trimming needs, be it at room or cryo temperatures. The trim knife series supercedes the cryotrim and ultratrim lines of trimming knives. Resharpening is still available for these lines.
For successful ultramicrotomy in biology and materials science, precise trimming is mandatory. The DiATOME trimming blades trim 90, trim 45 and trim 20 will fulfill all your trimming requirements, allowing quick, easy and accurate trimming at both room and cryo-temperatures.
A well trimmed sample is a precondition for perfect section ribbons. Due to the extreme sharpness of our diamond blades, less mechanical damage is applied to the sample during trimming.
Very shiny sample faces and precise sides are the result.
The trim 45 produces pyramidal sides with an inclined angle of 45° and the trim 20 produces pyramidal sides with an inclined angle of 20°. The trim 90 aids in the FIB cutting of biological and technical sample blocks, trimming the 90° inclined blocks sides and well as the surface of the block.
