LM-Mediated Isolation of Epithelial cells from 8 μm thick sections of the human corpus epididymis. A) shows a cross-section of a tubule prior to microdissection flanked by two regions of stromal cells (Str) that were microdissected for use as a negative control. The lumen of the tubule is marked with an (L) while the epithelium is marked with an (E). B) shows the tubule in A) after microdissection of the epithelium outlined in red and blue-dotted, and C) displays a low power view of a microdissected section on a slide showing microdissected tubules (1–5), microdissected stromal cells (Str) and an undissected tubule (E).
