I am a mechanical engineer, helped to establish Diatome company in 1970, developed the technique for making knives, had the first knives in 1975. From this moment until now we are the worlds market leader. Over the year we developed knives for optical microscopy, cryo ultramicrotomy, materials research knives, knives for cutting in the SEM, accessories such as an antistatic device for cryo ultramicrotom, lately a manipulator system for cryo ultramicrotomy. I act as an instructor for ultramicrotomy in biology and materials research.
