Abstract :
A nano-surgery system has been developed for operation of minute organelles in a cell. such as chloroplast and mitochondria. For the operation, nano-pipettes, nano-manipulators, sample stage, and bellows pump were fabricated. It has been succeeded to prick a chromosphere in a plant cell and the membrane just under the nucleus of an animal cell with the tip of nano-pipette and to inject fluorescent dye into these organelles.
