ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus implanting living cells with a foreign substance with the aid of laser beams. According to this invention living cells are exposed to a laser microbeam of energy sufficient to modify a selected part of the cell to be temporarily transparent to a foreign substance. After the foreign substance gets in the host cell, the selected part of the cell recovers to the original state, thereby confining the foreign substance in the cell.
