RESEARCH FOR OCULAR EFFECTS OF THERMAL RADIATION.
Abstract
To study minimal retinal burns in test rabbits, Technology Incorporated designed and fabricated a solid-state circuit to pulse a xenon light source up to 5000 amperes for one millisecond. Procedures to irradiate the rabbits and to calibrate the light source are described. Data for 1.05-millimeter-diameter minimal retinal burns were obtained. For one rabbit, this data was plotted and a theoretical equation was fitted to the curve. This data and theoretical equation can now be used for the prediction of minimal retinal burns. (Author)
