The Leica LMD6500 laser microdissection system serves as a technology for precision sample preparation which is a prerequisite of various downstream experiments in the fields of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, etc. … The LMD microscope prepares samples directly from tissue sections or cell cultures using a UV laser (355 nm) as an ultra-sharp knife to separate the objects of interest from the surrounding matrices. The method is contact- and contamination-free, one can isolate specific single cells or entire areas of tissues. The dissectate is then collected by gravity in small tubes (PCR, Eppendorf) and available for further analytical techniques,
