The results are presented of the works in the field of development of equipment, investigation techniques, and technologies for biology and medicine performed in the Joint Institute for High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Scienses (JIHT RAS). On the base of the new generation infrared femtosecond lasers, the experimental models are developed and manufactured of laser tweezers, scalpel, and the “tweezers-scalpel” combined system. The results are presented of the experimental studies on the noncontact mammalian cell fusion (blastomeres of mouse embryos on day 1.5 of development) by means of the femtosecond laser pulses.
