A method for isolating a rare cell type from a sample including a mixed population of cells is provided, which employs (a) an image processor being designed for morphologically differentiating the rare cell type from the mixed population of cells; (b) a magnifying device communicating with the image processor for providing a magnified image of at least a portion of the sample to the image processor; and (c) a micromanipulator for retrieving the rare cell type out of the mixed population of cells according to information provided by the image processor.
