What it is:
Laser Microdissection (LMD) is a technology for precision sample preparation.
Manufacturer: Leica Microsystems
Model Name: Leica LMD7000 Laser Microdissection
Applications: Wide field imaging, bright field microdissection, fluorescence microdissection, live cell microdissection
Instrument Overview:
The Leica LMD system perform sample preparation for molecular biology analysis directly from the tissue section using a UV laser. The LMD employs easy gentle, laser-based microscopic sample manipulation, dissection, and collection technique such as (1) Patented laser beam movement via optics (2) Real-time live cutting directly on the sample with a Pen-screen (3) Patented specimen collection via gravity (3) Dedicated objectives for LMD (4) Adjustable laser settings (5) High-end, fully automated upright research microscope (6) Easy-to-use LMD Software.
