suitable cutter and the garin is too hard when i try force..it

what to do pls feel free to offer suggestions on some helpful links.

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not
so great) words of knowledge:

Various rotary tools (Dremel, etc.) have very thin, extremely fine tooth
circular saw blades (about 3/4" in dia ). These will easily cut the
corn kernel, HOWEVER, make sure you have the kernel securely fastened
AND wear safety goggles. These rotary tools spin at 10,000 - 40,000 rpm
and those saw blades can easily cut off a finger if you are careless.

You could freeze fresh corn and slice that.

What you are looking for is called a Microtome or a tissue slicer.

What the heck are you testing "corn properties" for? Research for what?

To produce a fair and accurate representation for scientific purposes
you'd also need to cut out the exact same portion of each kernel, and
that would be impossible... so why not begin whatever your experiment
by simply making corn meal... duh
