Microdissection, Microdissection

Microdissection is the process of separating small structures while examining them microscopically. Using miniature surgical instruments, such as glass scalpels, various movements of mechanical joints are performed, thereby reducing the relative inaccuracy of the operator's hand movements during micro-movements. This makes it possible to dissect cell nuclei and even individual chromosomes. Microdissection allows for detailed examination of microscopic structures by carefully separating and dissecting them. This technique is often used in histology, cytology and other fields requiring precise micromanipulation of samples. See also Microsurgery.



Microdissection, or microdissection, is the process of separating small structures by examining them microscopically. Miniature surgical instruments, such as glass scalpels, are used to perform various movements of mechanical joints. Thanks to this, the relative inaccuracy of the operator’s hand movements during micromovements is reduced. This makes it possible to dissect cell nuclei and even individual chromosomes. Microdissection allows you to accurately isolate the desired structures during microscopic examination. This method is widely used in cytology, histology and other areas of biology and medicine.



Microdissection refers to methods of microscopic examination of biological objects that involve dissecting cells to obtain a more detailed understanding of the processes occurring inside them.

Historically, microsurgery (microexamination method) had to be combined with other new methods. As a result of this association, new areas of medical diagnostics began to emerge, and microdissection methods were born. To study an organism, its complete removal is no longer required, so all tissues and tissues retain their integrity and physiological functions.

One of the varieties of this technique is the micropreparation method, in which microtissues are separated from the main object. Thanks to this procedure, it is possible to study in detail the functionality of tissues and cells, their interaction with each other, as well as the processes occurring in these structures. In addition, the method allows us to establish a connection between the morphology of a cell, an organism and its vital activity as a whole. Currently, microdissections are often used in medical diagnostics: for detailed
