We present a new diamond knife which allows for reasonably precise incisions in cornea or sclera. The knife may be ultrasonically cleaned and is sharper than any metal knife whose edge we have examined to date by scanning electron microscopy. The edge is approximately 0.1 micron in width, compared to 1-5 micron width edges of most metal knives. We feel that this prototype will allow investigators to recommend special modifications to the manufacturer of their own choice.
我们展示了一种新型金刚石刀，它能够在角膜或巩膜上进行相当精确的切割。这种刀可以进行超声清洗，并且比我们迄今为止通过扫描电子显微镜检查过刃口的任何金属刀都更锋利。其刃口宽度约为0.1微米，而大多数金属刀的刃口宽度为1 - 5微米。我们认为这个原型将使研究人员能够向他们自己选择的制造商推荐特殊的改进。
