German term or phrase: Zwei bis 0.4 cm messende grauweiße feste Gewebspartikel k.R.

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!

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

Explanation:
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.
