Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of small insect tissue and organ dissection, and more specifically, to a small insect organ dissection and tissue collection device. Background Art

[0002] Insects are the most numerous animal group on Earth, and many studies on insects require dissecting insects to obtain insect organs or tissues for research. Existing insect tissue and organ dissection forceps or dissection needles are difficult to meet the needs of rapid dissection and collection during the large-scale dissection of small insect tissue and organs. When a large number of small insect tissue samples are collected, the existing dissection needles or dissection forceps can only collect a limited amount of tissue at a time, and the tissue is easy to adhere to the needle arm and is difficult to obtain or damaged. Specifically, in the dissection of small insects, it is usually necessary to directly use forceps to pull the tissue out, and then use the tip of the forceps to groove the tissue. However, in this process, slender tissues such as the intestines are easily entangled on the pointed wall of the forceps, and when transferred to the collected centrifuge tube, they stick to the forceps arm and cannot be removed. Sometimes, they need to be stirred back and forth in the centrifuge tube, or rubbed against the wall of the centrifuge tube, which will damage the tissue. Summary of the invention
