Laser capture microdissection (LCM), also called microdissection, laser microdissection (LMD), or laser-assisted microdissection (LMD or LAM), is a method for isolating specific cells of interest from microscopic regions of tissue/cells/organisms (dissection on a microscopic scale with the help of a laser). == Principle == Laser-capture microdissection (LCM) is a method to procure subpopulations of tissue cells under direct microscopic visualization.
