N2 - We have successfully operated enucleation of oocyte by using microelectric knife without any thermal collateral damage. Minimally-invasive cellular-scale ablation was achieved by the mono-dispersed microbubbles which were generated by a pulse discharge of microelectrode. The discharged output power and conductive area of microelectrode were controlled by glass shell insulation around the copper microwire. A small space which is called "bubble reservoir" between the wire and glass tip contributes to stabilize the electric discharge and directional bubble generation.
