Problems solved by technology

Hitherto this objective could be achieved only with difficulty and took a not inconsiderable amount of time on account of mechanical and also process technology restrictions in the cell manipulation (e.g. the cell collection or microinjection).
In particular the isolation of individual as well as unusual cells from minute samples that is necessary for the genotype and phenotype characterization proved to be very difficult, since individual cells had to be detected under a microscope by research staff and the detected cell then had to be manipulated manually with the aid of capillaries.
However, all these procedures suf...

Embodiment Construction

[0007]Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to develop a micromanipulation system whose manipulation tool can be moved from its working area and in doing so is protected against damage or destruction, and at the same time injury to the user is excluded. Also the manipulation tool should be able to be returned as accurately as possible to its working position. This object is achieved by means of a manipulation system for microscope applications with the features of the following claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the manipulation system for microscope applications are defined in the dependent claims.

[0008]According to the present invention a manipulation system for microscope applications is thus provided, which comprises a micromanipulation tool and a protective device protecting the tool, wherein the tool and the protective device can be moved relative to one another between a position protecting the tool in a contactless manner, and a position releasing the tool for...

Abstract

A manipulation system for microscope applications comprises a micromanipulation tool (1) and a protective device (2) protecting the tool, wherein the tool (1) and the protective device (2) are movable relative to one another between a position protecting the tool in a contactless manner and a position releasing the tool for the manipulation.

Description

[0001]The present invention relates to a manipulation system for microscope applications, in particular a manipulation system with a protective device for capillaries used in the micromanipulation of biological material.PRIOR ART[0002]The molecular analysis of pure enriched cell cultures or even individual cells is an important prerequisite of medical genomics and proteomics, and could become extremely important in the future for medical profiling of patients. Hitherto this objective could be achieved only with difficulty and took a not inconsiderable amount of time on account of mechanical and also process technology restrictions in the cell manipulation (e.g. the cell collection or microinjection). In particular the isolation of individual as well as unusual cells from minute samples that is necessary for the genotype and phenotype characterization proved to be very difficult, since individual cells had to be detected under a microscope by research staff and the detected cell then...
