The optical properties (absorption and scattering coefficients and the scattering anisotropy factor) were measured in vitro for cartilage, liver, lung, muscle, myocardium, skin, and tumour (colon adenocarcinoma CC 531) at 630, 632.8, 790, 850 and 1064 nm. Rabbits, rats, piglets, goats, and dogs were used to obtain the tissues. A double-integrating-sphere setup with an intervening sample was use...

Abstract Laboratory results of the optical properties vapor-deposited water ice, specifically refractive index and extinction coefficient, are available mainly for a selective set wavelengths limited number deposition temperatures. Experimental limitations main reason lack broadband data, which is unfortunate as these quantities needed to interpret predict astronomical planetary observations. T...

OBJECTIVE The current study focuses on any influence that depletion of endogenous glutathione in CHO K1 cells may have on the photodynamic action of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc). MATERIALS AND METHODS Two lasers--a HeNe laser, 632.5 nm, maximum power output 3.5 mW, and a Toshiba semiconducting laser, 670 nm, maximum power of 7 mW--were used. Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (CHO K1) were exposed to ...

Introduction: Low-energy helium-neon (He-Ne) laser beam lightis used in combination with sodium hypochlorite (Na2HOCl3) for clinical purposes. Regarding this, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) and sodium hypochlorite on the calf thymus double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ctdsDNA) molecule.  Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, ctdsDNA...

It is considered in this work that the dislocations that form upon attainment of the critical thickness in lattice-mismatched wide-gap II-WGaAs heterostructures can act as laser light scatterers. Experimentally, a near-normal-incidence HeNe laser probe has been employed during epitaxial growth, which generates both a specularly reflected laser light signal as well as a nonspecularly reflected, ...

Immunostaining and double-label immunofluorescence were performed as described previously using the following primary antibodies: SYN211 (1:500; Millipore), nSYN514 (1:150; Santa Cruz), and antibodies against a neuron-specific nuclear protein (Neu-N; 1:2000; Chemicon), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH; 1:1000; Sigma), or ionized calciumbinding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1; 1:500; Wako Chemicals). Briefly,...
