Laser Scanning: Update 1 - First Official Publication of the International Society of

This book contains the proceedings of the Seventh International Meeting on Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy, Tomography and Microscopy, which was held between November 30 and December 3, 1999 at the City of San Carlos de Bariloche, in the Argentine Patagonia. A scientific meeting which gathered professionals from all over the world whose current research interests are confocal tomography, scanning laser Doppler flowmetry, digital aniography with indocyanine green and fluoresceink, polarimetry, coherent optical tomography and many other different techniques.

For an optimal coverage of the whole range of interests, the meeting has been divided into a technical area, a research area, and mainly, a clinical application area for each technology.

It was during this event that the creation of the International Society on Laser Scanning (INSOLAS) was formally decided. This book is thus the first publication of this newly created society, in the wish that it will pave the way for future publications becoming a useful tool, as this one, for ophthalmologists around the world.
