Zeiss PALM Combi Laser Capture/Microtweezer Microscope

PALM CombiSystem combines two non-contact laser technologies in one system. It allows you to precisely microdissect and capture samples of interest and to optically trap small objects, such as living cells. PALM CombiSystem combines laser microdissection with optical trapping. For laser microdissection mark an element on your screen and then start the laser to separate it from unwanted tissue. A targeted laser pulse will ‘catapult’ your element upwards and contact-free into a collection vessel for further analysis. The optical trap of PALM CombiSystem manipulates particles with the highest precision at the cellular and sub-cellular level. This allows you to trap, move and position microscopic objects — such as red blood cells and bacteria — intuitively with the force of light.
