dissector
One who separates
A dissector is a person who dissects—cuts apart organisms or tissues for anatomical study.
Medical students are dissectors when they work on cadavers.
The term also applies to instruments designed for separating tissues during dissection or surgery.
Figuratively, a dissector analyzes something in minute detail: a dissector of political rhetoric.
