Abstract
A film (14) with a tissue section (10) is placed with the tissue section (10) downward on a microscope slide (18) and the microscope slide (18) positioned in the object plane of an inverse microscope; where an adhesive tape (20) is arranged, with a bonding agent (22) downward, above the film (14) and therefore above the tissue section (10); wherein the next step, tissue (36) to be isolated is excised by a focused laser beam, which also divides the film (14); whereupon removal of the adhesive tape (20) from the microscope, the excised tissue pieces (36) adhere to the adhesive tape (20), and the remnant of the film (14) and of the tissue section (10) remains adhering/to the microscope slide (18).
