Description:
New applications of laser microbeam irradiation to cell and developmental biology include a new instrument with a tunable wavelength (217- to 800-nanometer) laser microbeam and a wide range of energies and exposure durations (down to 25 X 10(-12) second). Laser microbeams can be used for microirradiation of selected nucleolar genetic regions and for laser microdissection of mitotic and cytoplasmic organelles. They are also used to disrupt the developing neurosensory appendages of the cricket and the imaginal discs of Drosophila.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Berns, M W -- Aist, J -- Edwards, J -- Strahs, K -- Girton, J -- McNeill, P -- Rattner, J B -- Kitzes, M -- Hammer-Wilson, M -- Liaw, L H -- Siemens, A -- Koonce, M -- Peterson, S -- Brenner, S -- Burt, J -- Walter, R -- Bryant, P J -- van Dyk, D -- Coulombe, J -- Cahill, T -- Berns, G S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Jul 31;213(4507):505-13.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7017933" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
