Abstract
Provided are a device whereby, during process of a process target such as a cell or the like, localized process of a process part is possible without inflicting damage due to heat, and rejoining and regeneration may proceed readily subsequent to process, and whereby an injection substance may be introduced efficiently; and a device for generating bubbles containing a plasma. Through the use of a localized ablation device employing a bubble jetting member having a core formed from a conductive material, a shell part formed from an insulating material, covering the core and including a section extending from the tip of the core, and a space formed between the extended section of the shell part and the tip of the core, a process target can be treated in localized fashion and without inflicting damage. By further providing an outside shell part at the outer periphery of the shell part, bubbles onto which a solution containing an injection substance has been adsorbed can be ejected, and the injection substance can be introduced during localized ablation of the process target. Additionally, by including a pair of electrodes formed from a conducting material, for generating a plasma in an inert gas, a liquid flow passage through which a liquid flows, and a microscopic flow passage for flow of an inert gas, an inert gas containing a plasma, and bubbles of inert gas containing a plasma, the liquid flow passage and the microscopic flow passage connecting at the downstream side from a section in which plasma is generated in the microscopic flow passage, bubbles containing a plasma can be generated, and can maintain a plasma state even in liquid, whereby therapy of biological tissue can be effected with the plasma.
