Ultramicrotome processing

This is a processing method for cutting bulk samples using a diamond knife to produce ultra-thin sections for transmission electron microscopy with a thickness of less than 100 nm.

Ultramicrotome processing is a method that uses a diamond knife to cut bulk samples and produce ultra-thin sections for transmission electron microscopy with a thickness of less than 100 nm. Unlike processing using ion beams, it allows for the production of a wide range of sections in the atmosphere. Biological materials and soft polymer materials, which are difficult to cut at room temperature, can also be made into ultra-thin sections by cryofixation.
