ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for activating a thermo-enzyme reaction, such as a polymerase chain reaction or other temperature-sensitive transformation of biological systems are provided. Electromagnetic energy is applied to a target to produce a rapid elevation in the temperature of at least a portion of the target. The electromagnetic energy can be laser energy provided via a laser beam supplied from one or more laser sources. The laser beam can have a wavelength in the infrared range from 750 nm to mm. The source of electromagnetic energy can be used in association with a microscope and/or objective lens to irradiate microscopic targets.
