The LCM process typically involves several steps: 1. Tissue Preparation: Tissue samples are sectioned and placed on specially coated slides. 2. Staining: Sections are stained to visualize and differentiate cell types. 3. Microscopic Identification: Using a microscope, specific cells or regions of interest are identified. 4. Laser Cutting: A laser is used to precisely cut around the cells of interest. 5. Capture: The isolated cells are collected using a transfer film or other capture methods.
