Multispectral photometric and polarimetrie observations of the Beta Pictoris circumstellar disk, made with a coronagraphic CCD camera at the Las Campanas Observatory between 1984 and 1989 (Smith et al 1992a), indicate that the nearly edge-on, highly flattened disk extends to a distance of more than 60 arcsec (1000au) from the star, with a nearly constant projected thickness of 2.8 arcsec (45 au) on the plane of the sky. A peculiar morphological property of the disk is its apparent asymmetry, with the northeast extension appearing somewhat longer and brighter than its southwest counterpart. Because of its implications for disk dynamics and morphology, this anomalous structure is perhaps the most puzzling phenomenon yet associated with the Beta Pictoris disk and deserves further study.

Dutch-belted 1 to 2.5 kg anesthetized rabbits were exposed to either xenon or argon laser light administered in a broad band, designed to cover large areas of the retina. For laser exposure, the pupil was dilated with atropine sulfate 1% and pheny lephrine 10%. All of the laser generated power was within a band centered at 5145.0 Anstroms. Established threshold for 4 hour exposures to laser irradiation are in the order of 25-35 microwatts/cm2. Animals examined for ultrastructural changes received 4 hour threshold doses. These animals exhibited ERG, opthalmascopic, and histological changes consistent with threshold damage.One month following exposure the rabbits were killed with pentobarbitol. The eyes were immediately enucleated and dissected while bathed in 3% phosphate buffered gluteraldehyde.

A transformer mixing network is described which allows the calibration of broad-band masking for portable audiometers that lack a built-in mixing network. For many instruments the transformer network is preferable to the resistive network previously published.
