This type of laser is used for the prevention or treatment of angle-closure glaucoma. In this condition, the iris blocks fluid drainage and thereby increases the inner eye pressure. LPI results in a small drainage hole within the iris that permits the drainage of fluid and thereby helps to lower the eye pressure. 1, record 1, English, - laser%20peripheral%20iridotomy

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSCM, also referred to as CSLM, Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy) is now established as a valuable tool for obtaining high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions of a variety of biological specimens. In LSCM, a laser light beam is expanded to make optimal use of the optics in the objective. Through a x-y deflection mechanism this beam is turned into a scanning beam, focussed to a small spot by an objective lens onto a fluorescent specimen. The mixture of reflected light and emitted fluorescent light is captured by the same objective and (after conversion into a static beam by the x-y scanner device) is focused onto a photodetector (photomultiplier) via a dichroic mirror (beam splitter). The reflected light is deviated by the dichroic mirror while the emitted fluorescent light passes through in the direction of the photomultiplier. A confocal aperture (pinhole) is placed in front of the photodetector, such that the fluorescent light (not the reflected light!) from points on the specimen that are not within the focal plane (the so called out-of-focus light) where the laser beam was focussed will be largly obstructed by the pinhole. In this way, out-of-focus information (both above and below the focal plane) is greatly reduced. 2, record 3, English, - confocal%20laser%20scanning%20microscopy

Principe de la microscopie confocale à balayage laser(MCBL). Le rayon laser excitateur pénètre dans l'échantillon préalablement marqué par des fluorochromes [...], auparavant répertoriés et choisis en fonction de leurs propriétés à se fixer sur des molécules particulières d’une structure ou d’un objet d’intérêt. Lors de l'impact optique, il y a émission de rayons lumineux provenant de différents plans de la préparation. Grâce à un diaphragme variable(«trou d’aiguille»-pinhole), il est possible de sélectionner les rayons émis par un seul plan de préparation et d’éliminer le signal provenant d’autres plans. Les rayons réfléchis sont filtrés en fonction de leur longueurs d’onde puis détectés par des photo-multiplicateurs. Le signal reçu est enfin converti en signal numérique, contribuant à la création d’une image [...] 2, record 3, French, - microscopie%20confocale%20%C3%A0%20balayage%20laser

Laser Micromachining in a Reactive Atmosphere. The drilling of deep holes in silicon by a laser beam is aided by conducting the operation in a reactive atmosphere. The atmosphere reacts with material ejected from the hole and converts the material to a gas that flows away from the work area. The hole is cleaner and more sharply defined, and debris do not spatter the surface of the work. 1, record 5, English, - laser%20micromachining
