ABSTRACT:
A laser microdissection unit for cutting a microscopic sample using a laser beam of a laser includes a microscope and a fluorescence device. The microscope includes an illumination beam path directed onto the sample, and an imaging beam path configured to image the sample. The fluorescence device includes an excitation filter, a dichroic beam splitter, and a blocking filter. The dichroic beam splitter and the blocking filter are spectrally transparent to the laser beam, and the laser beam is directable through the dichroic beam splitter and the blocking filter onto the sample.
