title: Fluorescein angiography and light microscopy studies of retinas irradiated by oxygen nuclei.
abstract: Fluorescein angiography and light microscopy techniques were utilized in the rhesus monkey to evaluate retinal damage following oxygen ion irradiation. Particle flux ranged from 1.3 x 10(7) particles/cm2 to 1.5 x 10(8) particles/cm2. Earliest evidence of damage was detected with fluorescein angiograms 24 h after exposures to 7.7 x 10(7) particles/cm2. No evidence of the hypothesized microlesion was found by either technique.
