WHAT DOES MICROINJECT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

microinject

Microinjection

Microinjection refers to the process of using a glass micropipette to inject a liquid substance at a microscopic or borderline macroscopic level. The target is often a living cell but may also include intercellular space. Microinjection is a simple mechanical process usually involving an inverted microscope with a magnification power of around 200x. For processes such as cellular or pronuclear injection the target cell is positioned under the microscope and two micromanipulators— one holding the pipette and one holding a microcapillary needle usually between 0.5 to 5 µm in diameter — are used to penetrate the cell membrane and/or the nuclear envelope. In this way the process can be used to introduce a vector into a single cell. Microinjection can also be used in the cloning of organisms, in the study of cell biology and viruses, and for treating male subfertility through intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
