Abstract

A glass neodymium laser producing light at a wavelength of 1.06 .mu.m arrested ciliary motion in Phragmatopoma. At low doses of irradiation, causing a local temperature rise of .apprx. 150.degree. C in a volume of 2 .mu.m3, the arrest was reversible. At higher doses of irradiation irreversible cell damage caused permanent ciliary arrest.
