Micromanipulation

Micromanipulation is a technique used to precisely control and move tiny objects, often at the microscopic or nanoscopic scale. It involves specialized instruments, such as micro-needles or robotic tools, allowing scientists and technicians to handle delicate components—like cells, DNA, or microelectronic parts—with high accuracy. This process is essential in fields like biology, medicine, and electronics for tasks such as DNA injection, cell manipulation, or assembling tiny devices. Despite working on an incredibly small scale, the principles involve careful force application and precise positioning, enabling detailed work that would be impossible with conventional tools.
