Tweezers and forceps find multiple applications in a range of working environments:
In the laboratory for manipulation of small or delicate objects, for example microscope coverslips and filter discs or papers
In clinical settings for dissection and examination of tissue and other biological samples
In cleanroom or other controlled environments to avoid direct handing and help maintain sterility or cleanliness
In industrial settings in manufacturing, electronics and fine engineering (such as watchmakers) for manipulation of small components
