Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

An introductory handbook offering a readable account of the physiology of the eye and its interaction with laser light intended for the average user of lasers in the laboratory. Discussion includes sections on the eye, light sources and units, basic heat transfer, laser safety and classifications, detailed safety procedures, and two computer program listings designed to assess the danger of a particular laser set-up and teach geometric optics with visual ray traces on the computer screen. The disks can be purchased separately through the mail from the author. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Includes bibliographical references (p. 73-74) and index.

The eye -- Light sources and units -- Basic heat transfer -- Laser safety -- Class I Laser -- Class II Laser -- Class III Laser -- Class IV Laser.
