EM KMR3 Glass Knifemaker

Perfect Glass Knives for perfect ultrathin sections for EM and LM applications

The balanced break method of the Leica EM KMR3 ensures perfect glass knives in three thicknesses 6.4 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm.

Since the introduction of the world’s first glass knife maker in 1962, Leica Microsystems has continuously refined the technique of highprecision glass knife making. Central to the design of the Leica EM KMR3 knife maker is the precise balancing of the instrument’s mechanical components to produce a 100% balanced break of the glass. This technical precision produces an outstanding, high-quality knife edge. In addition, the instrument is ergonomically designed to provide comfort and ease of use.
