MICRODISSECTION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ISOLATING CELLS OF A PREDETERMINED CELL TYPE

摘要

Microdissection device (10) and method for isolating cells of a predetermined cell type from at least one predetermined tissue specimen (18) on in each case one specimen holder (16) in a microdissection device (10), comprising the steps of providing an image (30) of a first tissue specimen (18') as reference specimen using an imaging device (12, S3), and generating a selection signal by an analysis device (20, S4), which signal describes coordinates of at least one boundary of a tissue section (36) on the specimen holder (16) with the reference specimen (18'). At least one cutting element (38) is oriented according to the at least one boundary of at least one predetermined tissue specimen (18, S6), and the selected tissue section (36, S7) is thereby removed. A scanning device (42) can scan (S9) the at least one predetermined tissue specimen (18) and determine a deviation of a relative position of the at least one predetermined tissue specimen (18) from the reference specimen (18') or various tissue layers of a tissue specimen (18) from one another, in order to correct the orientation (S10).
