Article: Clean light: switch to bellows component improves seal for high-temperature laser resonator assemblies.

Since their development in the early 1960's, lasers have become increasingly applied as medical systems components, both as an analytic and a treatment tool. Photodynamic therapy has been used as a cancer treatment in Canada, Europe and Asia over the past decade and beginning to be approved for use in the US. Confocal microscopy delivers high-resolution, high-contrast submicron images that can re-assemble into a 3D picture, without the expense of an electron microscope and without damaging living samples. Multiphoton microscopy also yields high-resolution images, but with even higher axial resolution, greater sample penetration, reduced photobleaching of marker dyes and ...
