Abstract

See full text

A laser microdissection includes a microscope having an incident-light device, a microscope objective, and a laser unit operable to produce a laser beam having a beam path extending through the incident-light device and through the microscope objective and intersecting an object plane of the microscope objective at an adjustable intersection point. The laser microdissection systems further includes an electrophoresis unit located below the object plane and containing an electrophoresis gel including one or more gel pockets, and a positioning device operable to position the electrophoresis gel in parallel with the object plane of the microscope objective and relative to a defined reference position such that dissectates of a sample that can be arranged in the object plane can be collected in the one or more gel pockets. The electrophoresis unit is operable to be attached by a coupling device. The dissectates are obtained via the laser beam.
