Abstract
We demonstrate precise cellular laser ablation on SH-SY5Y and onion cells by using an advanced 1.95μm nanosecond-pulsed thulium-doped fibre laser (TDFL). The TDFL offers a high degree of control on pulse parameters, which enables good thermal and mechanical confinement during the laser ablation and results in a high precision of 30μm, with minimal carbonisation or collateral damage to surrounding cells. The realisation of precise cellular ablation from a TDFL will open up new applications in microsurgery for disease treatment, benefitting patients and researchers worldwide.
