Laser Microdissection is the act of specimen dissection whereby a focused laser beam passing through the optics of a light microscope serves as a cutting tool.
Laser Microdissection is used to isolate and collect microscopic quantities of material from a specimen that has been mounted in a way that renders it visible under a light microscope (usually a thin and flat preparation on a glass microscope slide).
