Abstract

An apparatus of the invention is for injecting a solution into a cell. The apparatus includes a nozzle that jets a solution to a cell, and a laser irradiating unit that irradiates a laser to the cell to form an opening through which the solution jet from the nozzle is introduced into the cell. The nozzle jets the solution toward a nucleus of the cell, and the laser forms the opening in the cell at a point in a cell membrane of the cell such that the solution can be applied on the nucleus.
