Leica EM KMR3 Glass Knifemaker

The brand new design of our Leica EM KMR3 Glass Knifemaker has been developed to offer simpler operation and more consistent results from all thicknesses of glass than previous models. The knives are triangular after Latta and Hartman. With the breaking mechanism now above the glass, easier manipulation of the glass and a new design scoring wheel and cartridge, the “Balanced Break” technique can be utilised using a slower break providing better knives with less distortion. New adjusters with self-locking screws allow the glass to be positioned so that two knives with similar sized counterpieces can be made. Previously, glass knives would have a final angle of 55-60° but with the EM KMR3 they are much nearer to 45° and therefore much more suitable for cryosectioning.
