A set of lenses are then rotated in front of the hole in the...
photocoagulator
An optical medical instrument that uses an intense, precisely focused beam of light to stop weakened blood vessels from hemorrhaging. The thermal effect of the beam strengthens the weakened vessels and halts any uncontrolled growth. The instrument consists of an optical system combined with either an argon laser or xenon arc lamp as its light source.
