Corneal temperature in man and rabbit. Observations made using an infra-red camera and a cold chamber.

摘要: Using an infra-red camera AGA 680 the temperature of cornea men and rabbits was measured with a precision ±0.1°C. The subjects were moved from normal room into cold chamber temperatures 0°C -10°C. The material divided mean corneal recorded at various times as follows: The frequency blinking is low in rabbit compared to that man. On basis present data it obvious function not only ambient temperature, but also body blinking. It supposed there additional factor responsible for more rapid cooling human than rabbit's. This might be smaller amount aqueous humor behind cornea, which case corresponding thermal capacity will smaller. Using test animal lacks advantage co-operation during test. physical nature using measuring briefly discussed.
