Laser Microdissection System (427)

AS LMD Laser Microdissection System offers a patented, automated, non-contact technique that allows accurate dissection of select individual cells, groups of cells, or even a single chromosome. The instrument is based on an upright, automated microscope that includes a motorized nosepiece, motorized stage, and automated xyz-control element. It uses a pulsed UV laser directed through the optics, allowing the stage to remain stationary while cutting. The design offers the ability for the laser beam cutting precision to increase in proportion to the objective magnification; greatest precision is attained at the highest magnification. This design allows for any shape or size to be dissected. Paraffin sections, frozen sections, blood smears, and immunolabelled specimens are all appropriate for microdissection.
