Researchers demonstrated successive stages of a posterior subcapsular cataract induced in rabbit eyes by 2.45 GHz continuous wave radiation using color stereophotographs.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

The study induced posterior subcapsular cataracts in rabbit eyes using 2.45 GHz continuous wave radiation. Successive stages of cataract development were documented with color stereophotographs taken using a Donaldson stereo-ophthalmic camera with electronic flash illumination and two and one half times initial magnification on film. The photographs were viewed in a Donaldson special viewing apparatus that allowed consecutive stages to be seen by turning a circular knob. The viewed eye appeared as if seen in the living animal through a magnifying lens.
