Isolation of guard cells from fresh epidermis using a piezo-power micro-dissection system with vibration-attenuated needles

The Eppendorf Piezo-Power Microdissection (PPMD) system uses a tungsten needle (MicroChisel) oscillating in a forward-backward (vertical) mode to cut cells from surrounding tissue. This technology competes with laser-based dissection systems, which offer high accuracy and precision, but are more exp...
