[Endolaser] is a critical component of vitreoretinal surgery. Endolaser coagulation is a method by which the laser light is brought directly inside the eye through a fiber optic cable connected to the laser delivery console for treatment to the retina. When the surgeons is performing an intraocular surgery and a need for coagulation exists, the laser light is directed toward the desired area through a probe and photocoagulation is performed.... Endolaser probes are available in several forms such as—straight/curved, blunt/tapered, simple/aspirating, and even illuminating. The most commonly used is the straight probe with a blunt or tapered tip. The curved tip helps in accessing the anterior-superior retina or peripheral retina near the surgeon's dominant hand with ease. 3, record 1, English, - endolaser%20probe

Where there are no automatic samplers, samples are taken by hand scoops or dipper samplers. These are dipped regularly into the moving stream of grain to obtain a sample representative of a total parcel. Where grain is stationary, such as in carlots or bins, a special sampling probe is used to obtain grain from different levels and at different points in the container. 1, record 6, English, - special%20sampling%20probe

À défaut d'un échantillonneur automatique, on prélève des échantillons à l'aide d'une pelle à main ou d'une puisette. À intervalles réguliers, on effectue des prélèvements dans le blé qui s'écoule, de façon à recueillir un échantillon global vraiment représentatif du lot. Si le chargement de grain est immobile, comme dans une cellule de silo ou dans un wagon, on se sert d'une sonde spéciale pour prélever des échantillons à différentes profondeurs et en différents points de la masse du grain. 1, record 6, French, - sonde%20sp%C3%A9ciale

[Avalanche Victim Search. ] The initial search involves a fast scan of the entire area where victims might be found(that is, from the last seen point, within the perimeters of the avalanche, and in the deposition areas). It concentrates on likely areas of burial in addition to listening for transceiver signals and looking for clues on the surface. Initial searchers should be equipped with transceivers, probe, and shovel as well as a few wands if available. Do a visual search for clues on the surface(that is, hand, foot, clothing, and equipment). Call out occasionally and listen for responses from victims. Pull any items found out on the snow to see if a victim is attached. Mark the location of found items and bring them to the attention of the rescue leader. Listen carefully for transceiver signals in these locations.(If victims were not wearing transceivers or if is unknown whether transceivers were used, quickly probe the area around found items.) If a transceiver signal is found, carry out a transceiver search. If there is more than one person buried, the initial search continues to look for visual clues, etc. 2, record 7, English, - visual%20search%20for%20surface%20clues
