Microdissection
Microdissection is a precise surgical technique used to isolate and manipulate small structures within a biological sample, such as cells or tissues. This method often employs specialized tools, like microscopes and fine instruments, to ensure accuracy and minimize damage to surrounding areas. It is commonly used in research and medical procedures, including fertility treatments and genetic studies.
The technique allows scientists and doctors to study specific components, such as chromosomes or neurons, in detail. By carefully dissecting these tiny structures, researchers can gain insights into their functions and roles in health and disease, ultimately contributing to advancements in medicine and biotechnology.
