SHEEN, and Department o Anatomy, Institute of Ophthalf mology, Judd Street, London WCl H 9 QS INTRODUCTION Most of the currently available semi-automatic knife-breaking machines produce regular 45" triangular glass knives of 1 in. (25 mm) base. The irregular trapezoid knife used in the Cambridge Huxley Ultramicrotome is at best difficult, and in most cases impossible, to produce on these machines. We have designed a knife-holding attachment which enables us to enjoy the efficiency of a knife breaker by allowing triangular knives to be used in the Huxley microtome. DESCRIPTION The knife holder is machined in stainless steel and consists of two parts (Fig. 1). The triangular knife sits in the trough of the base (B) and is clamped by a plate (P) operated by a socket screw (S). The knife assembly is then clamped at the appropriate angle in the conventional Huxley knife holder by the base (B). F g 1. (a) Auxiliary knife holder with triangular knife. Measurements i. are in millimeters. (b) Conventional trapezoid knife.
