             Registration Statement on Form SB-2
             -----------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

      We have acted as counsel to Cell Robotics International, Inc. (the
"Company") in connection with Form SB-2 Registration Statements to be filed with
the United Stated Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the registration of an
aggregate of 1,400,000 shares of the Company's common stock offered by the
Selling Security Holders identified in the Registration Statement.

     In connection with such representation of the Company, we have examined
such corporate records, and have made such inquiry of government officials and
Company officials and have made such examination of the law as we deemed
appropriate in connection with delivering this opinion.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion as follows:

     1.   The Company has been duly incorporated and organized under the laws
of the State of Colorado and is validly existing as a corporation in good
standing under the laws of that state.

      2.  The Company's authorized capital consists of fifty million
(50,000,000) shares of Common Stock having a par value of $0.004 each and two
million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares of Preferred Stock having a par
value of $0.04 each.

      3.  The 670,000 shares of common stock being registered for sale and
offered by the Company to RCG Capital, Alan Stone & Co., Richard Goldman, Coffin
Communications and Dipl. Ing. Oton Tisch will, upon the valid exercise of the
stock option, warrants or conversion of the convertible secured promissory note,
be lawfully and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the
Company's Common Stock.  The 730,000 shares of common stock offered by the
Selling Securityholders, are duly and validly authorized, legally issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
