Abstract
The development of a laser attached to a microscope produced a valuable instrument for work in cytology and cytogenetics. This tool gave the investigator special light beams which could be focussed as accurately as any other form of light and could be placed precisely where it was actually needed. The diameter of this beam has varied from 1 micron up to 100 microns. This has permitted research varying from impacts on the mitochondria to impacts on relatively large areas of tissue for teratological studies on the fertile egg in the chick embryo.
