Perspective: Notes from the U.S.S.R.: Popov Congress delegates report on Soviet developments in biological effects of laser radiation, charge-coupled devices, and color TV

The trend toward the application of electronics engineering to biomedical problem-solving is as evident in the U.S.S.R. as anywhere else in the world, according to members of this year´s IEEE delegation to the annual Popov Society Congress. For example, considerable experimentation is underway in the Soviet Union using lasers on individual cells, tumors, and organs to determine both the positive and negative effects of laser radiation.
