German term

Zwei bis 0.4 cm messende grauweiße feste Gewebspartikel k.R.

German to English Medical Medical (general) Histology, Gynecology
The above phrase is in a German medical report, tissue sample from portio (cervix).
I have 2 questions referring to same phrase:
1. Can "bis" here mean "by", in the sense of length x width of sample?
2. What is the most likely meaning of k.R?
Since both of these were in one phrase, I am submitting it as one question.

Thanks!

2 grayish-white firm tissue particles, which measure (or are) up to 0.4 cm (in size).

which measure up to 0.4 cm, or which are up to 0.4 cm in size

Is the k.R. right next to Gewebspartikel or separated from it? I would put it into another question. It could just be an internal abbrevation, depending, where it is located.
