Abstract

SEVERAL articles have been written on the most suitable method of sharpening the knife of a microtome. The usual manner of sharpening is grinding, honing, polishing and stropping, and there are several different methods for each of those operations. There is obviously a lack of a quantitative measuring method by means of which the result of different sharpening methods can be tested. The only fairly reliable method still used is the one indicated by von Mohl1.
