Consumable for laser capture microdissection

摘要

A scatter illuminator design for an LCM device for an LCM microscope that generates a more even illumination to prevent shadows from obscuring internal cell structure. A laser capture microdissection apparatus includes a top portion (910) and a bottom portion (920). The top portion (910) includes an upper surface to which a scattering media (930) can be coupled. The bottom portion (920) includes a substrate surface to which a scattering media (940) can be coupled. Either, or both, of the scattering media (930 and 940) can be used. The scattering media can be incorporated into the transfer film carrier and/or the LCM transfer film.
