Q-switched ruby laser induced damage of the adult rabbit lens capsule.

The technique of Q-switched ruby laser induced mechanical destruction of the lens capsule was used to study the reactions of the adult rabbit lens. The defect produced in the anterior lens capsule was larger than the 40-60 micrometer focus, which was due to rolled-up edges of the capsule. Long-term observations revealed some decrease in size of developing localized opacification and a healing of the defect by outgrowing lens epithelium with the formation of a new capsule. The rupture of the posterior capsule led to a slowly progressive opacification with little intraocular macrophage reaction.

Fundus reflectometry: a step towards optimization of the retina photocoagulation.

A method is described for monitoring the light reflected from exposed areas during and after argon laser photocoagulation of rabbit eyes. The light serves as a measure of the retinal blanching and thus of the tissue reaction. It is shown, that the reflected light changes its time-dependent behavior qualitatively if hemorrhages occur. The energy necessary for a therapeutic coagulation is shown to decrease with decreasing exposure time as does the therapeutic band width for clinical coagulations. A relationship between exposure time and therapeutic band width was found and is discussed.

Q-switched ruby laser damage of the rabbit eye lens.

Results on Q-switched ruby laser damage to lenses of Chinchilla grey rabbits are reported. Threshold irradiances of about 10(10)W/cm2 are shown to be necessary for lens damage. The minimal lesions consist of empty bubbles about 1 mm in diameter. Energy consideration as well as histologic investigation of the lesions indicate a mechanical damage process following a light-induced absorption in the focus. Retinal damage accompanied lenticular damage in all cases

The laser in the Lowry technique for microdissection of freeze-dried tissue slices.

A new technique for tissue microdissection is described. This procedure, using an u.v.-laser micropreparation instrument, overcomes the extremely time-consuming manual preparation. The u.v.-laser micropreparation design allows fast, precise, reproducible and smear-contamination-free tissue microdissection. The preparation of the tissue sample can be programmed by tracing out the area to be sampled with a non-destructive 0.5 mW He-Ne-laser aiming-beam. The tract is stored in a small electronic unit, which then guides the motor-driven stepping stage on the microscope in the actual dissection run with the u.v.-laser. The laser power is adjustable in the range 4 to 40 kW and controlled by a photo diode displayed on an oscilloscope screen. In the tissue slice, prepared according to Lowry, an unlimited number of cells or tissue compartments can be dissected and afterwards weighed. The procedure described offers a broader use of the quantitative microhistochemical techniques of Lowry and of Neuhoff.
