Micromanipulation
Micromanipulation is a technique used in various scientific fields, particularly in biology and materials science, to manipulate small objects at a microscopic scale. This process often involves the use of specialized tools, such as micropipettes or micro-manipulators, which allow researchers to handle cells, embryos, or tiny particles with precision.
In the context of cell biology, micromanipulation can be used to inject substances into cells, isolate specific cells, or perform genetic modifications. This technique is essential for advancing research in areas like genetics, embryology, and nanotechnology, enabling scientists to explore complex biological processes and develop new therapies.
