There are primarily two types of microdissection techniques:
1. Manual Microdissection: This involves the use of fine needles or blades to manually dissect the tissue under a microscope. It requires a high degree of skill and precision. 2. Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM): This is a more advanced technique where a laser is used to cut and capture specific cells or regions from a tissue section. LCM is more precise and less time-consuming compared to manual microdissection.
